BACKGROUND: The cryptic Aspegillus species are rare, these microorganisms are usually more resistant to common antifungal therapies. Therefore, a correct identification is important when evaluating the impact of such species in aspergillosis. AIMS: We aimed to describe the frequency, clinical and microbiological characteristics, and the outcomes of those cases of aspergillosis caused by cryptic species in a tertiary hospital. METHODS: We retrospectively identified all microbiologically documented cases of aspergillosis between January 2013 and December 2018...
