Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in an Immunocompetent Patient: An Atypical Presentation.
Curēus 2024 March
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a severe fungal infection primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals. However, rare cases of IPA in immunocompetent patients have been reported, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we present a case of a 41-year-old immunocompetent male who presented with fever, cough with mucoid expectoration, and breathlessness. Despite the absence of traditional risk factors, imaging and laboratory findings led to the diagnosis of IPA. Prompt initiation of antifungal therapy resulted in clinical improvement. This case highlights the importance of considering IPA in the differential diagnosis of respiratory symptoms, even in immunocompetent individuals.
