Frаnk, а 45-yeаr-оld man, visited the hоspital with respiratоry distress and a high fever. Frank had diabetes mellitus and had smoked for 25 years. His white blood cell count was 24,000/μl (high) and his c-reactive protein was 24 mg/ml (high), both signs that his immune system was fighting an infection. His chest X-ray showed an abnormal shadow, and his chest computed tomography (CT scan) showed thickened bronchial walls. He was coughing up black sputum. The physician prescribed an antibiotic, cefotiam hydrochloride, but Frank’s condition worsened. By the tenth day, he was producing 100 ml of sputum a day, and the CT scan of his lung showed multiple lesions (clouded regions). Since antibacterial antibiotics had failed, Frank was tested for fungi. A culture of his sputum and PCR amplification of fungal DNA revealed the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. Frank was treated with the antifungal agents itraconazole, meropenem trihydrate, and amphotericin b, but he died on the 25th day. How did Franks medical history of smoking and diabetes impact the severity of his infection?
