Disseminated Fungus Balls in Patient with Relapsed or Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patient - Abstract
Invasive fungal infections, which lead to increased morbidity and mortality, are commonly observed in patients with hematologic malignancies. Pulmonary infiltrates associated with bacterial and fungal infections are often encountered in patients with acute leukemia. Here, we present a 41 year-old male patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that developed a disseminated pulmonary invasive fungal infection with halo sign, air crescent and fungus balls. Early initiation of antifungal therapy and antifungal prophylaxis are surviving for patients at high risk in related to acute leukemia.
