Abstract

A 59-year-old female with anti-MDA5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis was treated with prednisolone, tacrolimus, cyclophosphamide, tofacitinib, and plasma exchange. Five months post-treatment, elevated β-D-glucan levels and a pulmonary shadow on CT were noted. Aspergillus fumigatus was identified, leading to voriconazole initiation. A new pulmonary cavity lesion later revealed Lomentospora prolificans. Considering voriconazole resistance, terbinafine was added, resulting in clinical improvement. Vigilant infection monitoring is crucial during anti-MDA5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis treatment.

罕见并发肺部感染:抗mda5抗体阳性皮肌炎患者的烟曲霉和增生性绵孢菌。
患者为59岁女性,抗mda5抗体阳性皮肌炎患者,应用强的松龙、他克莫司、环磷酰胺、托法替尼和血浆置换治疗。治疗5个月后,患者β- d -葡聚糖水平升高,CT上可见肺影。鉴定出烟曲霉,导致伏立康唑起始。后来发现新的肺部病变,发现有增生性扁孢子菌。考虑到伏立康唑耐药,加用特比萘芬,临床改善。警惕感染监测是至关重要的抗mda5抗体阳性皮肌炎治疗。
