Aspergillosis presenting as Koebnerʹs phenomenon in a healed scald

Koebnerʹs phenomenon is an uncommon postburn complication. The following report describes a female child who sustained an 80% total body surface area scald which healed with conservative treatment. She developed a cutaneous Aspergillus infection involving only the previously scalded areas. The uninjured skin remained normal. She went on to develop systemic aspergillosis and died of multi-organ failure.
