Invasive aspergillosis of the hand
Abstract:
Aspergillosis is a fungal infection which may disseminate from the lung to bone, meninges, heart, or other organs. It is commonly found in patients with debilitating disease and those undergoing chemotherapy. A 6-year-old boy, seen at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center while being treated for acute monomyelocytic leukemia, developed invasive aspergillosis of the hand, requiring resection of the central three rays. This rare presentation of the disease required radical surgery to control its local manifestations and to prevent widespread dissemination.
