摘要烟曲霉菌作为一种重要的医院内致病菌，在免疫功能严重受损的患者中日益受到重视。感染在生前很难诊断，通常会导致致命的后果。在此，我们报告一例心脏移植受者合并弥漫性烟曲霉菌感染的病例，由于大量累及甲状腺，临床表现为甲状腺毒症。
ABSTRACT Aspergillus fumigatus is increasingly recognized as an important nosocomial pathogen in severely immunocompromised patients. Infection is difficult to diagnose antemortem and typically has a fatal outcome. Here we report the case of a cardiac transplant recipient with disseminated A. fumigatus infection which clinically presented as thyrotoxicosis due to massive involvement of the thyroid gland.
