Résumé
Sternal osteomyelitis due to aspergillosis is extremely rare. Among all cases of invasive aspergillosis reported in the literature, the incidence of osteomyelitis is less than 3%. Aspergillosis mainly affects immunosuppressed patients. Clinical and radiological manifestation is nonspecific. Contamination is primarily caused by inhaling spores, but it can also directly reach a vulnerable area after medical procedure. Diagnosis is often difficult and may take several weeks, in particular when aspergillosis is not suspected. Positive diagnosis is based on imaging tests but it is confirmed by anatomopathological and/or mycological examinations. Prognosis mainly depends on early administration of treatment. We here report the case of a 63-year-old diabetic patient with sternocostal osteomyelitis due to Aspergillus occurred after coronary angioplasty.
