Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis can occur secondary to influenza pneumonia and has a high mortality. We present a case of a previously healthy 38-year-old woman suffering from influenza pneumonia complicated by IAA. She also met the criteria for hemophagocytic lymphohistcytosis (HLH), without signs of immunocompromised state. Despite extensive treatment, the patient did not survive. We review the existing literature of HLH in influenza cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
