Abstract
In our case report, the clinical pattern starting with digestive symptoms suggested dissemination from a digestive site, which is very unusual in Europe. In our patient, the malnutrition, together with a diet exclusively based on contaminated cereals in a context of malignant hemopathy, resulted in the colonization of the digestive tract by these moulds and the aplasia-inducing chemotherapy schedules enhanced their pathogen potential.
