Case report 750: Aspergillosis of the chest wall in an apparently immunocompetent host.
This is a case of aspergillosis of the bone and soft tissues of the chest wall in a (probably) immunocompetent host. The areas of involvement and different types of this disease are described. The A. flavus group, which presumably was responsible for this involvement of the chest wall, is very uncommon as a pathogen in humans.
