title: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis due to a mixed infection caused by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus.
abstract: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is typically caused by a single Aspergillus species, most frequently Aspergillus fumigatus. Here we report that a lung transplant recipient developed invasive aspergillosis due to a mixed infection caused by Aspergillus flavus and A. fumigatus. The implications for this unusual finding are discussed.
