Abstract
The main objective of this research was to analyze the incidence of Aspergillus sp in Brazil, as well as to research the species that cause the most infections and the impacts caused by fungi on Brazilian humanity. This is an exploratory descriptive research from reviews and bibliographic research in scientific articles from the database Scientific Electronic Library Online - Scielo, in the periods 2013 to 2023; Given the above, the need arose to research this subject from the questions: What are the incidences of infections caused by Aspergillus sp in immunosuppressed patients in Brazil? And which fungal species cause more infections? In which Brazilian population? The dissemination of these infections is due to the ingestion of contaminated food, produced without observations as to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), affecting immunosuppressed patients, senile and hospitalized patients, causing serious neoplasms in humans, by these mycotoxin-emitting fungi, triggering aspergillosis, responsible for major complications in Brazil, and the most affected human organs are the lungs, heart, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, liver, etc. The A. flavus, A. brasilienses and A. fusarium are the ones that most affect the essential organs and the Brazilian population, especially the lung, which is responsible for serious neoplasms, leading to death in a few days.
