摘要：

We report a case of primary cutaneous infection by the emerging fungus Aspergillus ustus in an immunosuppressed patient after a domestic accident. The patient failed to respond to itraconazole and died before receiving a new treatment with amphotericin B. There have been eight other cases reported since 1973, and only two patients survived the infection. In vitro susceptibility testing of seven antifungal drugs showed that terbinafine and the new azole derivative UR-9825 were the most active against this fungus.
