Abstract:We describe the rare case of a diabetic patient who was successfully treated for cytomegalovirus viremia and leishmaniasis following liver transplantation for hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis, but also developed invasive sinus Aspergillus infection, while still on liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome). The patient refused radical surgery including eye enucleation, and received a combination of intravenous caspofungin and voriconazole, along with repeated, conservative, local surgical debridement. At follow-up, 15 months after the onset of sinusitis, the patient remains culture-negative, fully active, and without evidence of local recurrence.
Keywords:caspofungin    voriconazole    liver transplantation    combination treatment    invasive aspergillosis    leishmaniasis
