title: [Surgical treatment for pulmonary aspergillosis with hyper immunoglobulin-E syndrome; report of a case].
abstract: A 6-year-old girl who had been diagnosed as hyper immunoglobulin-E syndrome, was admitted to the department of pediatrics of our institute in May 2006, because of pulmonary aspergillosis. The chest X-ray showed bilateral cavities with niveau and fungus ball in the left middle lung field. In spite of medical treatment by antibiotics and antimycotics, the lesions did not improve. Therefore, bilateral lobectomy was done. After surgery, she needed re-operation twice, because of prolonged air leakage. There are few reports of lung surgery for the patient with the hyper immunoglobulin-E syndrome, and we present our case and review previous 2 case reports in the Japanese literature.
