Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis complicating allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis [PDF]
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a frequent complication in immunocompromised patients. The role of the prolonged use of steroids in predisposing to invasive aspergillosis has been recognized, but exceptionally described in asthmatic patients. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with bronchial asthma treated with steroid therapy for a long ...
