摘要：

Wound infections with Aspergillus are surprisingly rare given the quantity of spores in hospital air We report the first ease of infection of abdominal viscera due to Aspergillus in a patient with a laparostomy for Crohn's disease. Amphotericin B effected a cure. Sampling of air from the patient's environment yielded one isolate of Aspergillus fumigatus that matched the patient's isolates. Other examples of surgical wounds being contaminated by Aspergillus are reviewed.
