A 45-year-old homosexual man with pneumocystis pneumonia and esophageal candidiasis tested positive in ELISA and Western blot analysis for HIV-1. His CD4+ T cell count was 43/μL and his HIV-RNA load was 250, 000copies/ml He was treated with Trimetoprim-Sulfamethoxazole, Prednisolone and Fluconazole. Valganciclovir was added to treat CMV retinitis. During the clinical course, 21 days after admission, the patient presented with a temperature of 39°C and blood analysis showed neutropenia. Cefepime and G-CSF were initiated, but new consolidation was observed in the upper left lobe in chest radiography. He underwent bronchoscopy and lavage culture was positive for Aspergillus fumigatus. Serum testing of galactomannan was also positive and pulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed. The patient was initially treated with Micafungin but switched to Voriconazole when clinical symptoms worsened. An eventual clinical response was observed and pulmonary aspergillosis was controlled. Unfortunately, he died of sepsis due to MRSA 2 months later.<BR>Pulmonary aspergillosis is a devastating complication with poor prognosis in patients with HIV infection. Amphotericin-B has been the mainstay of pulmonary aspergillosis treatment, but reports indicate mortality exceeding 80%. Use of Voriconazole, a relatively new antifungal agent, may lower mortality with fewer adverse effects than conventional antifungal therapy.
