Abstract
- We report a case of primary cutaneous infection by Aspergillus fumigatus in a 19-year-old immunocompetent woman. She developed pruritic erythematous papules on the frontal and temporal scalp area and pubic area. The lesions rapidly progressed to ulcers with central black eschars and pus drainage. The diagnosis of Aspergillus fumigatus infection was established by the mycologic study of cultures from wound exudate and histopatholosic examination of the skin lesion. The skin lesions were improved after 5 weeks of antifungal therapy with oral itraconazole (200mg/day). Five months later, the skin lesions had healed, leaving some scar.
