Salvage therapy with topical antifungal for Aspergillus fumigatus empyema complicating extrapleural pneumonectomy.

Manoj Purohit1, Achyut Guleri, Joseph Zacharias.   

Abstract

We describe an unusual case of Aspergillus fumigatus empyema and bronchopleural fistulae after extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) and chemoradiotherapy (CRT), which was treated successfully under salvage conditions with debridement, an innovative topical antifungal application and supplemented systemic antifungal therapy and which went on for a definitive surgical procedure. Combinations of CRT and EPP have been recommended in a select group of patients with malignant mesothelioma. Irrespective of the combination, EPP is associated with mortality in the range of 4-15% and a complication rate as high as 62%.
