ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)is an effective method for treating multiple malignant hematological diseases and hereditary diseases.However,systematic internal organs disorders,especially pulmonary complications,are commonly following allo-HSCT,How to correctly diagnose and treat the coexistence of pulmonary infectious complications and pulmonary noninfectious complications has great importance.OBJECTIVE:
To report a case suffered from pulmonary Aspergillus infection coexisted with obliterative bronchiolitis at 1 year following allo-HSCT,and to discuss the prevention,clinical manifestation and treating method by reviewing related literature.METHODS:
At 373 days after allo-HSCT,the patient developed fever,dry cough,shortness of breath and dyspnea on exertion A high-resolution computed tomography of chest demonstrated that there were alveolar infiltrating in the upper,middle and lower lobe of the right lung,and the focus of infection was performed further biopsy.RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
The histopathological examination of the sample showed alveolus dilatation,epithelial cells hyperplasia,fibrinous obliteration in alveolar space and peribronchiolar lymphocytes inflammation,which were CD3(+),CD45RO(+),CD20(-),CD79a(-),MPO(-),CD34(-).Aspergillus fumigatus could be seen in the cultured biopsied tissue specimen.Pulmonary function test showed that,air flow obstruction with reduction of forced expiratory volume in one second was 59.27%.The patient was diagnosed as invasive pulmonary Aspergillus infection combined with bronchiolitis obliterans and was treated by caspofungin combined with intravenous voriconazole for invasive aspergillosis,methylprednisolone,azathioprine,intravenous immunoglobulin and azithromycin for bronchiolitis obliterans.At 40 days after treatment,the CT examination showed the focus was absorbed completely.
