Abstract:

Objectives: Aspergillus spp. can cause acute invasive disease in
severely immunocompromised patients. However there are few cases
reported of lung cancer complicated by invasive pulmonary
aspergillosis (IPA) at the same site.tazobactam and minocycline were 73%, 82%, 59%, 61% and 64%
respectively. All environmental cultures did not grow Bcc. A point
source was not identified and horizontal spread was suspected. Strict
infection control measures terminated the outbreak.
Conclusions: B. cepacia is an opportunistic pathogen which can cause
life-threatening disease to haematological malignancy patients and can
produce a serious outbreak. Infection control measures, including
contact isolation, are of outmost importance in containing the spread of
Bcc among patients.
