Tracheobronchial aspergillosis Tracheobronchial aspergillosis is a potential fatal form of pulmonal aspergillosis involving the trachea and lower bronchi. It is mostly seen in severely ill or immunocompromised patients. This article reports a clinical case of a 51-year-old man who was diagnosed with tracheobronchial aspergillosis while admitted to the intensive care unit for severe pancreatitis complicated by multiorgan failure. The diagnostic process, epidemiology and treatment of tracheobronchial aspergillosis with isavuconazole, a relatively new triazole, are discussed. |
