Invasive pulmonary co-infection caused by Aspergillus sp. and Pneumocystis jirovecii, complicated by Cytomegalovirus reactivation in a patient following second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation – Case report

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Invasive fungal infections are common complication in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, often leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Furthermore, when invasive fungal co-infections are diagnosed the prognosis is rarely favorable. Here, we present a rare case of a 47-year-old HIV-negative male with invasive pulmonary co-infection caused by Aspergillus sp. and Pneumocystis jirovecii, complicated by Cytomegalovirus reactivation following second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with a fatal outcome. 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
