We report the case of a 43-year-old HIV-positive male who developed a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication of invasive aspergillosis. The patient was treated with amphotericin B with clinical improvement, and was discharged to a nursing home on voriconazole. He died of unrelated complications of his end-stage HIV 4 months later. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a recognized complication in immunocompromised patients. Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm in the setting of invasive aspergillosis has not been described in patients with AIDS. Hemoptysis in these settings is usually a preterminal event. In our case, the management was conservative with clinical improvement. |
