An immunocompetent lady with invasive aspergillosis presenting as disseminated lesions: a case report

This case highlights the diagnosis of aspergillosis in an immunocompetent individual presenting with disseminated nodular lesions across the lungs, mediastinum, and abdomen. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for aspergillosis in cases of non-resolving pneumonia and disseminated nodular lesions, even in patients lacking traditional predisposing factors.

Abstract

This case highlights the diagnosis of aspergillosis in an immunocompetent individual presenting with disseminated nodular lesions across the lungs, mediastinum, and abdomen. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for aspergillosis in cases of non-resolving pneumonia and disseminated nodular lesions, even in patients lacking traditional predisposing factors.
