title: [Invasive rhinocerebral aspergillosis occurred during myelosuppressive phase after chemotherapy: a case report and literature review].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of invasive rhinocerebral aspergillosis (IRA) during myelosuppressive phase after chemotherapy and the treatment outcome.
  
  
  METHODS
  A patient with acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia (M(2a)) occurred IRA during myelosuppressive phase after chemotherapy and was treated with amphotericin B (AmB, including AmB-L), garlicin, 5-flucytosine (5-FC), fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, econazole and griseofulvin with twice of cerebrotomy lesion resections and cerebral decompressions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Though the survival time of this patient is a little longer than the others, she finally died of uncontrolled infection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For most of the IRA, there remains no effective treatment. The best treatment is AmB in combination with surgical excision.
