RESUMEN
Nebulized liposomal amphotericin B (20-15 mg twice daily by nebulizer) was combined with high dose intravenous liposomal amphotericin B (10 mg/kg/day) and high dose caspofungin (100 mg/m(2)) for the treatment of severe, recurrent pulmonary aspergillosis following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from alternative donor in a patient with mitochondrial disease (Pearson's syndrome). This combined treatment was administered for 8 days. Nebulized liposomal amphotericin B was well tolerated. Since severe transplant complications developed, nebulized administration was withdrawn and intravenous doses of liposomal amphotericin B and caspofungin were tapered to usual schedules. Pulmonary aspergillosis responded well to 45 days of combined intravenous antifungal therapies which were maintained for 2 years with secondary prophylaxis, because of persistent immunosuppressive treatment.
