Cerebralt aspergillom hos patient med immundefekt og follikulært lymfom

Kristian Lorentzen, Monica Nicole Talibi, Per Boye Hansen

    Abstract

    We present a case of central nervous system aspergillosis in an immunocompromised 69-year-old male with a history of chemotherapeutic treatment for follicular lymphoma. The patient presented with aphasia, apraxia and confusion. An MRI of the central nervous system and Aspergillus antigen in the spinal fluid was suggestive for this invasive fungal infection. Despite treatment with voriconazole the patient succumbed to the infection. A rise in rare, severe infectious complications as presented is expected due to increasing dose-intensity of chemotherapy.
