Table 1 Clinical characteristics, etiology and prognosis of this case and previous cases

Case number	Clinical features	Etiology	Prognosis	Ref.
Previous case 1	Hemoptysis, dyspnea, persistent fever, pulmonary CT showed diffuse infiltration	Respiratory tract infection and bacteremia caused by severe immune dysfunction after stem cell transplantation and chemotherapy	Death	Green et al[3]
Previous case 2	Abdominal pain, fever, respiratory distress, pulmonary CT showed atelectasis, abdominal CT showed hemorrhage	Chronic liver disease and alcohol abuse, bacteremia	Survived	Rossati et al[4]
Previous case 3	Dry cough, fever, dyspnea, chest CT findings: pulmonary abscess and pleural effusion	Pulmonary infection caused by bacteria	Survived	Gonzalez et al[5]
Previous case 4	Dysuria, oliguria, fever, abdominal pain	Urinary tract infection caused by bacteria	Survived	Gupta et al[6]
Previous case 5	Fever, neutropenia	Decreased immunity and bacteremia after chemotherapy	Survived	Lin et al[7]
Previous case 6	Cough, expectoration, shortness of breath, wheezing, decreased lung function	Long-term oral administration of glucocorticoids reduced immunity	Survived	Frost et al[8]
This case	Decreased consciousness, fever, decreased blood oxygen saturation, systemic multiple organ function injury and stressed state. CT showed diffuse distribution of a ground glass density shadow with pulmonary edema in both lungs	Complications after cerebral hemorrhage	Died
