Necrotising aspergillosis complicating fulminating viral pneumonia.

Abstract

Post-influenzal bronchopneumonia is commonly bacterial, usually pnuemococcal or staphylococcal, though in the 1957 pandemic fatal cases of pure viral pneumonia were recorded.' We report a case of necrotising or invasive aspergillosis complicating a fulminating viral pneumonia in a 14-year-old girl.
