INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Surgical site infection results in an increased morbidity and length of stay. This poses a great economic burden to society and remains a challenge in the surgical field surgery. In the recent years, there has been great attention in modalities to avert such complications. Primary cutaneous infection with aspergillosis is rare entity in immune competent patient.
CASE PRESENTATION: We report a rare cause of surgical site infection with invasive aspergillosis in immunocompetent patient secondary to Kramericeae herb. We describe the wound which was noted to be offensive with production of a tar like and golden green slough material, which lack clinical improvement despite aggressive surgical debridement and the use multiple broad-spectrum antibiotics.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Post-operative wound infection with aspergillosis has been reported in literature related to patient and environmental factors; immunocompromised patient and contamination of ventilation system. Poor response to conventional measures in treating wound complication should alert surgeons to anticipate unusual fungal wound infection. Mortality due to aspergillus infection wound is highest in patient with solid organ transplant. However, it is uncommon that it can lead to septic shock and death in immunocompetent patients.
CONCLUSION: Post-operative wound infection with fungi seems to be less anticipated cause in immunocompetent patient. To improve outcome better awareness of the wound characteristics and clinical course. Furthermore, a better control by local authorities of non-controlled "herbal medicines" sellers in terms of routines checks of their products to ensure their health safety.
