✦ Synopsis

SUMMARY

A 31‐year‐old Caucasian man with AIDS developed a crusted violaceous plaque under adhesive tape near a central venous catheter insertion site. Histological examination demonstrated a ruptured hair follicle containing collections of fungal hyphae typical of Aspergillus spp. A culture of the biopsy material grew Aspergillus fumigatus. The patient responded to removal of the catheter and the occlusive dressing, in addition to itraconazole therapy. Aspergillosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions in human immunodeficiency virus‐infected patients, in particular when the lesion occurs under adhesive tape or an occlusive dressing.
