Abstract
- Aspergillus niveus is a species uncommon in clinical samples, and to date, invasive fungal infections caused by this fungal pathogen have not been described. This is the 1st report on a pulmonary breakthrough aspergillosis caused by A. niveus in a 21-year-old woman after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for Fanconi anemia.
