N2 - Invasive fungal infection continues to pose a significant threat to immunocompromised patients. The authors describe a pediatric patient receiving chemotherapy for acute undifferentiated leukemia who developed presumptive Aspergillus species infection disseminated to lung, liver, spleen, and bone. The authors report the successful treatment of this infection with the addition of voriconazole, a triazole antimycotic, to treatment with amphotericin and surgical debridement, in the setting of ongoing intensive chemotherapy.
