This case reports an invasive gastrointestinal aspergillosis following endoscopic submucosal dissection, highlighting early recognition. The outcome underscores the need for timely intervention in such infections.
Abstract Gastrointestinal aspergillosis (GA) is rarely invasive aspergillosis. It is usually the result of organ involvement from disseminated systemic infection, isolated GA is rare even in immunocompromised hosts. We are reporting a rare case of an invasive GA in a diabet patient following endoscopic submucosal dissection operation on the stomach, which occurred due to home cleaning. The infection progressed to systemic involvement. Despite surgical intervention and anti-infective treatment, the patient ultimately succumbed to the infection. The outcome in this case is bad and illustrates why early recognition and intervention is crucial for the prognosis.
