 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Secondary acute leukemia after chemotherapy the CT manifestations of lung fungal infection [Abstract] Objective To investigate secondary leukemia after chemotherapy, the CT manifestations of lung fungal infections and improve the diagnosis level. Methods A retrospective analysis of 20 leukemia patients by needle biopsy, fungal culture, or clinical follow-up confirmed that the CT secondary pulmonary fungal infection performance, of which 6 were male, 14 female, aged 72 years maximum, minimum of 25 years, mean age 51 years. Results of 20 cases of inflammatory chest CT showed a large consolidation, nodule or mass in 9 cases, solid cone change, nodule or mass in 3 cases, small patches of inflammatory exudate in 3 cases, a wide range of small nodules in 5 cases. 1 case of a “halo sign”, 1 case of “half air” sign, irregular distribution of lesions . Conclusion Acute leukemia after chemotherapy, the CT secondary pulmonary fungal infection without specific performance of most of the performance, but “half the air sign” and the “halo sign” has a certain specificity. [Keywords:] fungal infection in acute leukemia chemotherapy, computed tomography Pulmonary fungal infections are not uncommon in clinical, with broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents, and hormone and immune suppression in patients with a large number of applications increases, the pulmonary fungal infections on the increase. Acute leukemia (acute leukemia, AL severe bone marrow after chemotherapy suppression of immune function, or of secondary pulmonary fungal infection is easy, due to the presence of underlying disease, making the disease even more complex, diverse and imaging overlap. This nearest hospital after a few years fungal culture or anti-fungal Treatment of the 20 confirmed cases of acute leukemia after chemotherapy in patients with secondary pulmonary fungal infection to analyze the performance of CT to raise awareness about the disease. 1 Materia
