抄録

Although visceral mycosis is a rather rare disorder in the general population, it is more common in immunocompromised hosts including dialysis patients. We recently experienced a case of thoracic aspergillus empyema in a patient in whom hyperparathyroidism appeared to have aggravated the predisposition. A 40-year-old male dialysis patient who had been on hemodialysis for 15 years was admitted to our hospital because of fever, chill and arthralgia in August 1995. The etiology of the renal failure was chronic glomerulonephritis. He was fatigued and malnourished. Marked ectopic calcifications were noticed at various sites such as around both shoulders, the middle back, and the gluteal region. The diagnosis of thoracic aspergillus empyema and secondary hyperparathyroidism was made. Pleural cavity fluid was drained off and several antifungal agents were administered without improvement in clinical or laboratory findings. Subtotal parathyroidectomy was performed under local anesthesia because of impaired respiratory function. After the operation, the arthralgia and high fever rapidly disappeared and the serum C-reactive protein level gradually decreased to normal. We consider that the secondary hyperparathyroidism had accelerated the onset and the course of aspergillosis possibly through impairment of the patient's defense mechanism.
