“…However, even when fungi are found, their accurate indentification is of more than academic interest. Aspergillus terreus, for example, is resistant to nystatin, whereas the other common Aspergilli are not (English and Dalton, 1962).…”

The microbiology of 12, 174 symptomatic ears presenting over an eingt-year period to one hospital was examined in detail. 1, 061 cases of fungal infection were found. The incidence and pattern of these fungi and the accompanying bacteria, in case of mixed infection, do not appear to have been affected by the widespread use of powerful topically-applied autibiotic/steroid preparations over more than two decades. Otomycosis remains an uncommon, often overlooked but important cause of morbidity in a temperate climate.

“…terreus has been recognized as a cause of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (43, 98), aspergilloma (38, 39, 43), onychomycosis (63,103), aural cavity disease (20,31,73,89,93), subcutaneous abscesses (9,88), and keratitis (78,84) We reviewed a total of 60 previously published clinical invasive A. terreus infections described in 39 reports published from 1968 to 2003 (Table 2). Interestingly, 75% (45 of 60) of those clinical cases were reported in the last 14 years (1990 to 2003).…”

“…Aspergillus terreus has been reported as a saprophytic organism, in postoperative aural cavities [4,5] and as a pathogen of onychomycosis [10,12]. Since Cheetham documented subcutaneous infection due to A. terreus [2], a num- ber of authors have reported deep mycosis caused by this organism [3, 6-9, 15, 16, 18, 19].…”

Pulmonary aspergillosis due toAspergillus terreus combined with staphylococcal pneumonia and hepatic candidiasis

et al. 1990

A female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed pulmonary aspergillosis with staphylococcal pneumonia and hepatic candidiasis. Aspergillus terreus, which is a rare causative organism of pulmonary aspergillosis, was identified from a pulmonary lesion by culture. The aleurioconidium production, a characteristic of the genus Aspergillus sect. terrei, was demonstrated on short and irregular hyphal features in tissue sections. This report is the first of a combined case of pulmonary aspergillosis due to A. terreus with infections caused by other microorganisms.
