Aspergilose pulmonar necrotizante crônica Chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis

Abstract

A aspergilose pulmonar necrotizante crônica é uma das formas de aspergilose pulmonar usualmente encontrada em pacientes com imunossupressão leve. Apresentamos o caso de uma paciente com queixas de tosse produtiva crônica, febre e astenia. Havia utilizado corticóides. A TC do tórax evidenciava consolidação com cavitação de permeio no lobo superior direito. A fibrobroncoscopia demonstrou secreção purulenta em árvore traqueobrônquica e lesão vegetante endobrônquica. Biópsias desta lesão e biópsia transbrônquica foram compatíveis com aspergilose. Diante do quadro clínico, radiológico e histopatológico, o diagnóstico de aspergilose pulmonar necrotizante crônica foi realizado. Tratada com itraconazol, a paciente apresentou boa evolução clínico-radiológica.Chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis is one of the forms of pulmonary aspergillosis typically found in mildly immunocompromised patients. We report the case of a female patient with complaints of chronic productive cough, fever and asthenia. She reported previous corticosteroid use. A CT scan of the chest revealed consolidation with interposed cavitation in the right upper lobe. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed purulent fluid within the tracheobronchial tree and an endobronchial exophytic lesion. The results of the biopsy of that lesion and the transbronchial biopsy were consistent with aspergillosis. Based on the clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed with chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis. Treated with itraconazole, the patient presented a favorable clinical-radiological evolution.
