| Abstract: | A female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed pulmonary aspergillosis with staphylococcal pneumonia and hepatic candidiasis.Aspergillus terreus, which is a rare causative organism of pulmonary aspergilosis, was identified from a pulmonary lesion by culture. The aleurioconidium production, a characeristic of the genusAspergillus sect.terrei, was demonstrated on short and irregular hyphal features in tissue sections. This report is the first of a combined case of pulmonary aspergillosis due toA. terreus with infections caused by other microorganisms. |
