[Two cases of scalp wound colonization and respiratory tract by mycelial fungi].
One case of colonization of a post-traumatic scalp wound by Aspergillus nidulans and Fusarium solani in a healthy adult patient is discussed. A second case of respiratory colonization by Acrophialophora fusispora in a child with cystic fibrosis is presented. Both cases are reported to illustrate the need of combined histologic and mycologic studies in evaluating patients in order to distinguish between colonization and invasion.
