RESUMO
We report a case of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis caused by Neosartorya pseudofischeri S. W. Peterson [anamorph Aspergillus thermomutatus (Paden) S. W. Peterson]. The diagnosis was initially based on a positive blood culture for a strain isolated from a neutropenic patient by means of a BACTEC 9050 blood culture system. The final diagnosis was established based on X-ray and computer tomography scan results as well as the detection of Aspergillus antigen in the patient's serum.
