# Obstructive Tracheobronchitis in Influenza-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis

## TL;DR

A rare case of severe airway obstruction caused by obstructive tracheobronchitis in a patient with influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis is reported.

## Contribution

The report highlights a rare and severe manifestation of obstructive tracheobronchitis in immunocompromised patients with influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis.

## Key findings

- A 36-year-old patient presented with significant airway obstruction from obstructive tracheobronchitis.
- The condition was likely due to immunocompromised status and rapid progression of influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis.

## Abstract

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.
