Abstract

We present such a case, manifested by ulceration on skin due to A. niger, which remained undiagnosed for a prolonged period. Although the patient had associated severe fungal infection. Recurrence of the lesion occurred despite repeated anti-fungal therapies. Anti fungal testing was done based on the broth dilution (M-38A, AIIMS, INDIA) method. The culture isolate was found to be sensitive to fluconazole and amphotericin B. Continuation of antifungal therapy improved the symptoms, reducing the size of the lesion.

Key words: Aspergillus niger, Skin infection, ulcer, Aspergillus lentulus., Broth dilution.
