title: [Primary cutaneous aspergillosis in an extremely low birth weight preterm infant].
abstract: A small hyperpigmented nodule 4 mm in diameter with a smaller satellite lesion was noted on the left hip 5 weeks after spontaneous birth of an otherwise unharmed 490 g female infant at 23 + 5 weeks of gestation. The mother had been treated with antibiotics for a clinically suspected amniotic infection syndrome. Aspergillus fumigatus was identified in both repeated swabs of the lesions and culture of the resected tissue. The infant received liposomal amphotericin B (3 mg/kg/day) for 8 days. No new lesions were noted thereafter. There was no evidence for a primary immunodeficiency.
