title: Airway centered invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient: case report and literature review.
abstract: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a major problem that occurs in severely immunocompromised patients. Airway centered invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is rare in patients with normal immunity or those without critical illness. Computed tomography (CT) is a very useful diagnostic modality, yielding characteristic imaging findings for early diagnosis of this infection in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. We describe the case of an immunocompetent patient with airway centered invasive aspergillosis, who was successfully treated with voriconazole.
