Soft Tissue Abscess Caused by Aspergillus Fumigatus in an Immunosuppressive Patient

“…Risk factors for invasive aspergillosis include neutropenia, glucocorticoid therapy, advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, chronic granulomatous disease, hematopoietic stem cell or solid-organ transplantation (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Aspergillus infections are also common in premature and newborn infants hospitalized in intensive care according to the literature (20,21).…”

Primary aspergilloma and subacute invasive aspergillosis in two AIDS patients

“…Invasive aspergillosis less frequently involves the sinuses, orbit, eye, heart or other viscera 8,13,17,19,25 . Primary cutaneous lesions 2,14 and isolated tracheobronchitis 23 have been reported. A previous study reported aspergillosis diagnosed between 10 and 26 months following onset of AIDS; despite anti-fungal therapy, these patients died within two to four months 6 .…”

Primary cutaneous aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient

“…Primary infections caused by direct physical inoculation were rare 2–5 . Recently, however, primary cutaneous aspergillosis seems to be an emerging infection in immunocompromised patients 6–8 and rare in subjects with normal immune status 9,10 …”
