Abstract

Invasive aspergillosis is the most common opportunistic fungal infection in the hematopoetic stem cell transplant patient. Prior to the regular use of antifungal prophylaxis, invasive fungal infections caused by Candida were the most common infection, followed by infection by Aspergillus.1 In the 1990s, 90% of Aspergillus infections were due to A. fumigatus; however A. flavus, A. terreus, A. niger, and A. versicolor are all potential causes of invasive aspergillosis. A. flavus, followed by A. niger, is the most common cause of primary cutaneous disease while A. fumigatus more commonly causes disseminated disease.2 A. glaucus, A. chevalieri, and A. ustus are rare causes of cutaneous disease.3
