Résumé : Aspergillus, which has a saprophytic life, is an opportunistic fungus and manifests his pathogenicity when a weakened state of the host facilitates its development. The conditions are particularly favorable in severely burned patients like the 54-year-old woman presented here. The criteria of pathogenicity of this opportunistic fungus, the incidence of epidemiology and prognosis of this type of infection and the clinical signs that allow an early diagnosis are discussed here.
