Popis: |
We report a case of a 75 year old non-known cancer or organ transplant male with an unusual concurrent triple infection of Aspergillus, strongyloides stercoralis and herpes simplex virus in a bronchoalveolar lavage. He presented to an outside hospital with worsening respiratory distress and an open tracheostomy was performed due to concern he would not extubate. Following tracheostomy, there was concern for a possible esophageal perforation. A bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were performed and Strongyloides, herpes viral cytopathic changes and aspergillus microorganisms were identified. The patient subsequently expired following discharge. |
