Abstract

The rare association of aspergillosis and bronchopulmonary sequestration has been reported in 21 patients. We present a case of locally invasive aspergillosis complicating an intralobar sequestration in a 10-year-old girl with asymptomatic peripheral eosinophilia. This is the youngest such patient reported to date. Copyright © 2008 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
