Tracheobronchial Pseudomembrane Secondary to Aspergillosis

Abstract

Pseudomembrane formation of the tracheobronchus is a unique process noted in a number of disease entities. The significance of this condition needs proper attention as tracheobronchial pseudomembranes have been described throughout most medicine disciplines. We present here a case of tracheobronchial pseudomembrane formation secondary to Aspergillus. A review of the potential etiologies of tracheobronchial pseudomembranes and a relevant review of the array of Aspergillus infections are included.
