Abstract:Invasive aspergillosis is actual problem in patients with hematological malignancies. Lungs damage develops most often. Digestive tract involvement occurs in 1.3 % of patients with invasive aspergillosis, mainly as a result of hematogenous dissemination. Risk factors are lymphocytopenia, neutropenia, corticosteroid therapy, and staying in the ICU. The most frequently we identified liver involvement (63 %), rarely - intestines (25 %) and esophagus (12 %). Infection is characterized by a high 12-week mortality - 63 %. Early diagnosis, voriconazole therapy and surgical treatment are necessary.
