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.
La aspergilosis pulmonar invasora es producida típicamente por una única especie de Aspergillus, siendo habitualmente Aspergillus fumigatus. Se presenta el caso clínico de un receptor de trasplante de pulmón que desarrolló aspergilosis invasora por una infección mixta causada por Aspergillus flavus y A. fumigatus. Se discuten las implicaciones de la rareza de este caso.
