Abstract EN
Aspergillosis is a rare fungal infection in premature infants that may cause extensive tissue destruction, sepsis and subsequent multi-organ failure.
However, it has been an emerging problem for preterm infants in recent years because of long-term parenteral nutrition, multiple-antibiotic therapy and immune deficiency due to prematurity.
We described a preterm neonate, who developed excessive skin lesions due to primary cutaneous aspergillosis.
This paper provides the clinical presentation, diagnostics and discusses the latest for the treatment of primary cutaneous aspergillosis.
