Primary Cutaneous Aspergillosis in an HIV Patient and Combined Therapy: A Case Report

Abstract

Primary cutaneous aspergillosis (PCA) is a rare disease caused by a few pathogenic species of Aspergillus. It manifests in immunocompromised patients as different types of localised lesions, the treatment has evolved and the latest reviews ensure better results with a combined therapy. We present a 27-year-old male gardener with a history of human immunodeficiency virus infection and a nodular presentation of PCA. He received surgical and antifungal medication, showing a good response and no dissemination or recurrence of the disease.
