Case report. Hepatic abscesses due to Aspergillus terreus in an immunodeficient child

We report the first case of hepatitis due to Aspergillus terreus in a 13-year-old boy with common variable immunodeficiency that occurred while the patient was receiving secondary prophylaxis with fluconazole after an episode of pulmonary candidosis. The infection subsided after the addition of itraconazole to the combination of liposomal amphotericin B and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor that he was receiving.
