[Mycological examination of a non-uniseriate Fumigati section's Aspergillus]. / Isolement d'un Aspergillus section Fumigati d'apparence non-unisériée.

Aspergillus species are filamentous fungi of Ascomycete class. They are opportunistic pathogens frequently responsible for many severe infections. Among these species Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important human pathogen because of his thermophilic feature. Concerning microscopic morphology Aspergillus fumigatus is characterized by an asexual multiplication with a conidiophore formed by a conical-shaped vesicle. The phialides are directly attached to this clavated vesicle (uniseriate) and produce conidia chains. We report the case of mycological examination identifying a non uniseriate Aspergillus strain which belongs to Fumigati section.
