Invasive aspergillosis due to cryptic Aspergillus species: A prospective study from a single centre in India
Of the 94 isolates, 54 A. fumigatus, 34 A. flavus, 3 A. nidulans, 2 A. terreus, and 1 A. niger were morphologically identified. MALDI-TOF misidentified 2 A. nidulans isolates and 1 A, stellatus isolate. The ß - tubulin sequence analysis revealed that 2 isolates (2.08 %) were cryptic, one was A. stellatus and another one was A. tubingensis.
