[h=1]Case report: Disseminated aspergillosis complicating influenza.[/h] Immel S[SUP]1[/SUP], Yu E[SUP]1,[/SUP][SUP]2[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] Aspergillus can cause a wide variety of diseases ranging from hypersensitivity diseases to invasive infection. Invasive disease most commonly occurs in severely immunocompromised patients such as chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and transplantation. It is a less well-recognized complication in critically ill patients without traditional risk factors. We describe a case of invasive aspergillosis complicating influenza and diabetic ketoacidosis that disseminated to the central nervous system and led to demise despite high-intensity antifungal therapy.
