Invasive Aspergillosis with Skin and Thyroid Gland Involvement / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Invasive aspergillosis is the second most prevalent opportunistic mycosis and usually occurs in the immunocompromised patients. The most common involved organs are the lung, brain, heart, kidney, thyroid gland, intestinal organ, and skin in descending order. Among them, thyroid gland involvement is not so common, and clinical appearances of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism are also rare. We present a case of invasive aspergillosis with skin and thyroid gland involvement in a patient with renal transplantation, who had symptoms of hyperthyroidism and elevated T4 level.
