Abstract:

Invasive aspergillosis (IA) significantly increases mortality in critically ill patients in the ICU and its occurrence is closely related to immunocompromise. Dissemination of IA is easily misdiagnosed and mistreated due to its ability to invade multiple systems throughout the body and lack of typical clinical manifestations. In this case, a 25-year-old previously healthy woman was hospitalized with fulminant myocarditis and treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support and intravenous acyclovir, high-dose methylprednisolone, and immunoglobulin. 6 days later, she was successfully weaned from VA-ECMO and underwent cardiac rehabilitation. On day 10, she developed a fever (Tmax 38.3 degrees C) and an irritating cough and began to experience reduced vision over the right eye with eye pain, redness, photophobia, and tearing 2 days later. Administration of levofloxacin eye drops and tobramycin/dexamethasone eye ointment was ineffective. The patient was positive for serum Aspergillus galactomannan antigen. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan showed multiple hypermetabolic cavitary nodules in both lungs (SUVmax3.6) and thickening of the ocular ring wall with hypermetabolism in the right eye (SUVmax3.2). Ophthalmologic examination revealed that her best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was reduced to light perception with an intraocular pressure of 21 mmHg, and B-scan ultrasonography showed vitreous opacity and retinal edema with mild detachment in the right eye. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) identified a large number of Aspergillus fumigatus sequences in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, blood, and aqueous humor from the right eye, supporting the diagnosis of pulmonary and ocular involvement due to disseminated IA. Vitrectomy, anterior chamber irrigation, combined with intravenous and intravitreal injections of voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B eventually cured the patient. This case highlights the importance of early identification and intervention regarding disseminated IA in immunocompromised critically ill patients, especially in the presence of multiple organ involvement.
