An invasive Aspergillus flavus infection in an extremely preterm neonate: a case report
Extremely preterm neonates are at heightened risk for invasive fungal infections. We report a fatal case of <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> infection in a 25-week infant, outlining the clinical course, antifungal treatment, and challenges in management. This case highlights the need for early recognition, rapid biopsy and aggressive therapy in vulnerable neonates.
