D N Weingrad, W H Knapper, J Gold, R Mertelsmann.   

Abstract

A 38-year-old male with terminal transferase positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia experienced fever, polymicrobial bacteremia, gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain during induction therapy, and remission. Cecal perforation, Aspergillus peritonitis, and subsequent disseminated aspergillosis were successfully managed with colon resection, drainage, and antibiotic and antifungal therapy. Serologic tests for antibody to Aspergillus were repeatedly negative.
