Invasive Aspergillosis After Non-Fatal Drowning.

Invasive aspergillosis should also be considered in immunocompetent patients with severe respiratory failure after non-fatal drowning who do not respond to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Angioinvasive aspergillosis can even result in fatal pulmonary embolism; hence, early targeted testing for Aspergillus species and empiric intravenous voriconazole should be considered in such cases.
