Abstract
Invasive fungal infections are common complication in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, often leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Furthermore, when invasive fungal co-infections are diagnosed the prognosis is rarely favorable. Here, we present a rare case of a 47-year-old HIV-negative male with invasive pulmonary co-infection caused by Aspergillus sp. and Pneumocystis jirovecii, complicated by Cytomegalovirus reactivation following second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with a fatal outcome. 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
