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.
