✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A 38‐year‐old male with terminal transferase positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia experienced fever, polymicrobial bacteremia, gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain during induction therapy, and remission. Cecal perforation, Aspergillus peritonitis, and subsequent diseminated aspergillosis were successfully managed with colon resection, drainage, and antibiotic and anti‐fungal therapy. Serologic tests for antibody to Aspergillus were repeatedly negative.
