Nonhealing scalp wound infected with Aspergillus niger in an elderly patient.
    Cutis, 2011, Volume: 87, Issue:4

    Cutaneous aspergillosis is a rare infection most often seen in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of primary cutaneous aspergillosis infection in a nonhealing scalp wound of an immunocompetent elderly patient. The patient had a cutaneous malignancy of the scalp treated with surgical excision but complicated by poor wound healing. Fungal culture of the nonhealing wound revealed Aspergillus niger. The nonhealing wound subsequently resolved with retapamulin ointment 1% and ketoconazole gel 2%.
