Pulmonary Aspergillosis in a Patient with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: ¹⁸ F FDG PET-CT In Diagnosis and Assessment of Treatment Response

Invasive fungal disease (IFD) in patients with lymphoma is a reason for diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma and is rarely encountered. These situations are further challenging when invasive investigations yield equivocal results. 18 F-FDG PET-CT, an established investigation as part of the work-up of patients with lymphoma, aids in raising the suspicion of such infections and in the assessment of response to treatment. This case report aims to highlight the utility of 18 F-FDG PET-CT in a patient with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, post-chemotherapy status, who was on immunotherapy, and presented with high-grade fever. Very few cases of IFD in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma have been reported in the literature.
