Invasive aspergillosis occurs very rarely in immunocompetent hosts. We report a case of invasive fungal infection in an infant who was treated with short term of inhaled and systemic steroids although there was no detectable immune deficiency. This case was presented in order to demonstrate the potential risk for opportunistic fungal infections in children treated with short term systemic and inhaled corticosteroids.
İnvaziv aspergilloz immunkompetan kişilerde çok nadir görülür. Burada; saptanabilen immün yetmezlik olmamasına rağmen kısa süreli inhale ve sistemik steroid kullanma sonrası invaziv fungal enfeksiyon gelişen bir infantı sunduk. Bu olgu; kısa süreli sistemik ve inhale kortikosteroid tedavisi alan çocuklarda olası fırsatçı fungal enfeksiyon riskini vurgulamak amacı ile sunulmuştur.
