Disseminated Aspergillosis with Mediastinal Invasion Causing Fatal Stroke in an Immunocompetent Young Man.
Introduction: Aspergillus flavus is a common cause of aspergillosis.
Case presentation: A previously fit and well, immunocompetent 27-year-old male living in Australia developed disseminated A. flavus complex infection with mediastinal and cardiac invasion, superior vena cava obstruction and stroke, with fatal haemorrhagic transformation.
Conclusion: Aspergillus Flavus is a rare but important cause of serious disease in the immunocompetent.
期刊介绍:
This new peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of neurology. Clinicians and researchers are given a tool to disseminate their personal experience to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. To complement the contributions supplementary material is welcomed. The reports are searchable according to the key words supplied by the authors; it will thus be possible to search across the entire growing collection of case reports with universally used terms, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
