..Aspergillosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection
... It also occurs in patients who are receiving long-term corticosteroids, antibiotics or cytotoxic drugs and in immuno-compromised states.
Primary cutaneous aspergillosis may present as macules, papules, plaques or hemorrhagic bullae, which may progress into necrotic ulcers that are covered by a heavy black eschar..
...Aspergillus species are among the most ubiquitous fungi, seen in soil, water, decaying vegetations and any substrate that contains organic debris. The respiratory tract is the most common primary portal of entry. After candida albicans, the aspergillus species is the second most common cause of human opportunistic fungal infection.
Voriconazole is a new antifungal agent found to be effective in aspergillosis or itraconazole.

I had that black mass on my hair..remember the pictures? Always wondered what that is..thought it was some type of fungus. Sometimes the black mass was even in my pores on my head. I have several pictures,
if anyone is interested. Could it be that if there aren't any lesions this stuff comes out the pores and hairfollicles??
