Pseudomembranous Aspergillus Tracheobronchitis: Case Report of a Rare Manifestation of Airway Invasive Aspergillosis
Aspergillus tracheobronchitis, an uncommon form of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, is characterized by the development of a pseudomembrane, ulcers, or an obstruction that is predominantly confined to the tracheobronchial tree. Pseudomembranous Aspergillus tracheobronchitis is the most severe fo...

| description | Aspergillus tracheobronchitis, an uncommon form of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, is characterized
by the development of a pseudomembrane, ulcers, or an obstruction that is predominantly
confined to the tracheobronchial tree. Pseudomembranous Aspergillus tracheobronchitis
is the most severe form of Aspergillus tracheobronchitis, and only a few cases have been
reported in Korea. We report the characteristic chest CT findings in a patient diagnosed with
pseudomembranous Aspergillus tracheobronchitis after bronchoscopy and successfully treated
by proper antifungal treatment. |
