Successful Treatment of Simultaneous Pulmonary Pseudallescheria boydii and Aspergillus terreus Infection with Oral Itraconazole

Abstract

Pseudallescheria boydii and Aspergillus terreus are unusual opportunistic fungal pathogens that are often resistant to chemotherapy with amphotericin B. We report a case of simultaneous invasive pulmonary infection with these organisms occurring in a bone marrow transplant recipient who was successfully treated with the oral azole itraconazole.
