Abstract:
The treatment of hematological malignancies with intensive chemotherapy results in prolonged periods of immunosuppression. This is associated with an increased incidence of Aspergillus infections of the upper respiratory tract with high mortality. We present a case of a 4-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed disseminated pulmonary and renal aspergillosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of aspergillosis affecting a kidney after chemotherapy.
