We present the case of a 9-year-old Thai girl diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who experienced prolonged febrile neutropenia lasting 1 month during chemotherapy. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed lung nodules with an air crescent sign, while CT angiography of the brain detected an infected ruptured brain aneurysm, which exhibited septate hyphae with acute angle branching, consistent with invasive aspergillosis. Despite voriconazole treatment, the patient\u2019s high-grade fever and dyspnea persisted. Further investigations revealed a lung abscess and wedge resection confirmed AFB 1+ and positive MTB detection via polymerase chain reaction, leading to the initiation of combined treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis and invasive aspergillosis. Considering drug\u2013drug interactions was an essential aspect of the management. This case report highlights challenges of coinfection between invasive aspergillosis and MTB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omad082","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]],"date-time":"2023-08-25T16:49:23Z","timestamp":1692982163000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Aspergillosis and pulmonary tuberculosis co-infection in a 9-year-old with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2023","author":[{"given":"Wirapatra","family":"Iamwat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University Division of Pediatric Pulmonary and Critical Care, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, , Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krit","family":"Cheawcharnprapan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University Division of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, , Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patcha","family":"Yenjabog","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University Division of Pediatric Critical Care, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, , Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oranooj","family":"Lertkovit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, , Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daranee","family":"Isaranimitkul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, , Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2485-4823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thiraporn","family":"Kanjanaphan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, , Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023082513115054900_ref1","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
