- Abstract
Fungal infections are an emergent problem in therapy of patients diagnosed with neoplastic disorders. Invasive pulmonary mycosis is caused mainly by Aspergillus sp. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia who died because of massive pulmonary hemorrhage in the course of aspergillosis. Detailed analysis of the risk factors for the development of a fungal infection, applied prophylactic and therapeutic anti-fungal management and the causes of eventual therapeutic failure are presented.
