Summary:Summary We report a cutaneous infection by Aspergillus flavus in a tetraplegic but otherwise healthy young man. He presented with multiple erythematous to violaceous indurated papules and plaques which had progressed to central ulcers or black eschars. Lesional scrapings, biopsies and cultures demonstrated a fungus, Aspergillus flavus, as the aetiological agent. As the patient had to leave for his home country before diagnosis had been established, we cannot report on the results of therapy in this case.
