[Splenic hyalohyphomycosis. Case report].
Invasive aspergillosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in severely immunocompromised patients, especially those who are neutropenic or who have undergone bone marrow or solid-organ transplant. We report a case of hyalohyphomycosis morphologically suggestive of an Aspergillus spp. in a 22-year-old patient with aplastic anaemia, treated with multiple transfusions and broad spectrum antibiotics.
