BACKGROUND: Skin signs is associated with Aspergillus are rare and are seen principally in immunodepressed @entity1 . Distinction is generally made between primary @entity272 , caused by direct cutaneous inoculation with the offending organism, and secondary @entity272 , associated with peripheral emboli from an area of chronic @entity358 . There have been rare reports of indirect satellite skin signs resulting from @entity281 , and below we present such a case. @entity1 AND METHODS: A 40 year-old immunocompetent @entity1 consulted for erysipeloid plaques on the lower limbs recurring over a period of seven months. X-rays and CAT scans of the sinus demonstrated asymptomatic axillary @entity1244 probably caused by Aspergillus. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgery, which resulted in cure without additional antifungal treatment. The @entity32 subsided and after 15 months, there was no recurrence of lesions. DISCUSSION: The absence of relapse following treatment of the focus of @entity2381 forms a major argument in favour of a causal relationship between the @entity1909 . The hypothesis of a septic embologenic mechanism within the sinus was abandoned in favour of a mechanism similar to streptococcal nodular erythema, seen in diseases involving immune complexes, possibly caused by @entity566 to Aspergillus proteins. This case history demonstrates the existence of satellite skin signs of @entity281 indicative of neither primary nor secondary @entity2381 .
