Aspergillus flavus brain abscesses associated with hepatic amebiasis in a non-neutropenic man in Senegal. [Case Reports, Journal Article]
Am J Trop Med Hyg 2009 Oct; 81(4):583-6.


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.
