A 56-year-old man with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis developed acute symptoms, including fever and cough. Chest X-ray and CT scan films revealed consolidations and ground glass opacities in the bilateral lungs suggestive of massive pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Microscopic examination by a transbronchial lung biopsy from the right middle lobe demonstrated numerous hyphae of aspergillus. Despite treatment with anti-fungal agents, respiratory failure rapidly progressed, and the patient died on the 21st hospital day. Postmortem examination of the lung showed multiple abscesses with hyphae of aspergillus invading into small pulmonary artery and alveoli, which were the characteristic findings of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). In addition, diffuse alveolar damage was also present, associated with the typical features of UIP such as honeycombing in the bilateral lungs. The serum anti-influenza B virus antibody was high at 512-fold. Therefore, it was speculated that influenza B virus infection triggered superimposed aspergillus infection leading to fatal IPA associated with ARDS.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007251 Influenza, Human An acute viral infection in humans involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the NASAL MUCOSA; the PHARYNX; and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.

D009981 Influenza B virus Species of the genus BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS that cause HUMAN INFLUENZA and other diseases primarily in humans. Antigenic variation is less extensive than in type A viruses (INFLUENZA A VIRUS) and consequently there is no basis for distinct subtypes or variants. Epidemics are less likely than with INFLUENZA A VIRUS and there have been no pandemics. Previously only found in humans, Influenza B virus has been isolated from seals which may constitute the animal reservoir from which humans are exposed.

D011658 Pulmonary Fibrosis A process in which normal lung tissues are progressively replaced by FIBROBLASTS and COLLAGEN causing an irreversible loss of the ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream via PULMONARY ALVEOLI. Patients show progressive DYSPNEA finally resulting in death.

D017563 Lung Diseases, Interstitial A diverse group of lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. They are characterized by an initial inflammation of PULMONARY ALVEOLI that extends to the interstitium and beyond leading to diffuse PULMONARY FIBROSIS. Interstitial lung diseases are classified by their etiology (known or unknown causes), and radiological-pathological features.
