摘要：

We report the clinical data for 9 patients affected during an outbreak of Aspergillus flavus sternal wound infections after cardiac surgery. In 7 patients, the infection had a locally invasive character, with 3 of these patients having multiple relapses; 2 patients had fulminant mediastinitis and died. Most patients received combined surgical and medical treatment.
