Abstract
- A 61-year-old woman with pulmonary alternariosis and aspergillosis was reported. The patient presented with recurrent hemoptysis and cough for 3 years. Alternaria was identified by fungal culture. Biopsy specimen showed pulmonary aspergillosis. The patient had been treated with voriconazole at 400 mg/d through intravenous guttae for 7 days, and then switched amphotericin B at 25 mg/d through intravenous guttae for 11 days. The patient was treated with voriconazole at 400 mg through oral when she was discharged from hospital. After the treatment, the clinical symptoms of hemoptysis and cough were recovered, and the lung CT examinations showed normal.
