Aspergillus flavus brain abscesses associated with hepatic amebiasis in a non-neutropenic man in Senegal

Sophie Brun et al. Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2009 Oct.

Abstract

A non-neutropenic man living in Senegal was repatriated to France for liver amebic abscesses associated with brain abscesses presumed to be of amebic origin. Surprisingly, the post-mortem examinations of brain abscesses showed Aspergillus flavus. The route of infection by A. flavus in this particular context is discussed.
