Coinfection of Aspergillus and Cryptococcus in Immunocompromised Host: A Case Report and Review of Literature

الملخص EN

Management of infections in the immunocompromised patient requires unique considerations that are not typically seen in the immunocompetent.

Immunocompromised hosts require a broad set of differential diagnoses when presenting with febrile illness involving a wide variety of microbiology.

Moreover, fungal infections are common, and cotreatment of fungal and bacterial infections occurs with regularity.

Fungal coinfection, however, is rare.

Here, we describe a patient with Aspergillus and recurrent Cryptococcus neoformans coinfection following completion of treatment for pulmonary cryptococcosis.
