Cutaneous aspergillosis

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology
K BöhlerW Jurecka

Abstract

We report a cutaneous infection by Aspergillus flavus in a tetraplegic but otherwise healthy young man. He presented with multiple erythematous to violaceous indurated papules and plaques which had progressed to central ulcers or black eschars. Lesional scrapings, biopsies and cultures demonstrated a fungus, Aspergillus flavus, as the aetiological agent. As the patient had to leave for his home country before diagnosis had been established, we cannot report on the results of therapy in this case.

Aspergillosis (ASM)

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
