Abstract

The case of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed pneumonia caused by Aspergillus fumigatus is described. She was treated with itraconazole 200 mg twice daily, with a rapid response. After a follow-up period of 5 years no recurrence of the infection has been detected. To our knowledge this is the first report on the use of itraconazole in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Considering the poor prognosis associated with Aspergillus pneumonia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, we believe that itraconazole constitutes a safe and effective alternative to amphotericin B in these patients.

伊曲康唑成功治疗系统性红斑狼疮患者的曲霉性肺炎。
一个病人与系统性红斑狼疮谁发展肺炎由烟曲霉引起的情况下描述。给予伊曲康唑200 mg,每日2次,反应迅速。随访5年后,未发现感染复发。据我们所知,这是首次报道伊曲康唑在系统性红斑狼疮患者中的应用。考虑到系统性红斑狼疮患者与肺炎曲霉相关的预后较差,我们认为伊曲康唑在这些患者中可作为两性霉素B的安全有效的替代方案。
