Obstructive Tracheobronchitis in Influenza-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis.

We report a bronchoscopic image of a 36-year-old with significant airway obstruction from obstructive tracheobronchitis secondary to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. It is rare to see such a severe form of obstructive tracheobronchitis, likely caused by the patient'sp immunocompromised status and rapid progression nature of influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis.
