“…The patient fully recovered after wound surgery. 1 Anderson et al 3 described a child diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, who developed two asymptomatic, geometric, erythematous dermal plaques on his right forearm. The skin lesions occurred at the site of tapes applied to secure an arm board for intravenous access and the culture isolated Aspergillus niger .…”

“…The eruption rapidly resolved with systemic anti-fungal therapy. 3 Stock et al reported necrotic skin lesions in the back, perineum, and axillae in a premature neonate. 6 Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated and a disposable, non-sterile glove was found to be contaminated with Aspergillus fumigatus .…”

We describe the case of a 9-year-old boy with idiopathic bone marrow aplasia and severe neutropenia, who developed skin ulcers under cardiac monitoring electrodes. The diagnosis of primary cutaneous aspergillosis was made after the second biopsy and culture. Imaging investigation did not reveal internal fungal infection. The child was treated, but did not improve and died 3 months after admission. The report highlights and discusses the preventable risk of aspergillus skin infection in immunocompromised patients.

“…These injuries can get contaminated and cause harmful effects on patients and increase the costs with treatment. 11,18,19 The rational use of adhesive tapes and neonatal warming systems is essential to minimize skin-barrier issues. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study on the occurrence of MARSI in premature newborns.…”

“…Premature newborns can develop MARSIs or skin damages after a single adhesive removal event. These injuries can get contaminated and cause harmful effects on patients and increase the costs with treatment 11,18,19 . The rational use of adhesive tapes and neonatal warming systems is essential to minimize skin‐barrier issues.…”
