TY - JOUR T1 - INvasive pulmonary aspergillosis associated with influenza AU - Fischer JJ, Walker DH Y1 - 1979/04/06 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1979.03290400053024 JO - JAMA SP - 1493 EP - 1494 VL - 241 IS - 14 N2 - Fatal invasive pulmonary aspergillosis may follow viral influenza infections. Two cases with verified influenza A infection were followed by fatal necrotizing pneumonia due to Aspergillus fumigatus. Both patients demonstrated cutaneous anergy and lymphocytopenia. Influenza and perhaps other viruses that depress T-cell function may result in increased susceptibility to infections in which T cells are important in host defenses.(JAMA 241:1493-1494, 1979) SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1979.03290400053024 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1979.03290400053024 ER -
