Abstract

Majority of the cases of fungal infections to be detected in the cervicovaginal smears, are caused by Candida species. Aspergillus infections are not just rare, but should also raise alarm regarding the immune status of the patient. Here we report the case of an adult female with cervicovaginal smears showing non-Candida fungal elements, going on to prove contamination of the wooden spatula by Aspergillus fumigatus.
