title: [An autopsy case of ulcerative colitis with disseminated aspergillosis, complicated by brain hemorrhage].
abstract: An 80-year-old Japanese woman suffered multiple brain infarctions of unknown etiology during maintenance therapy of prednisolone and azathioprine for ulcerative colitis. Although a small cavity in the left lung spontaneously regressed, the patient suddenly died of massive brain hemorrhage due to disseminated aspergillosis, which was not identified until autopsy.
