A cluster of four cases of surgical and burn wound aspergillosis occurred in a 900-bed, adult, tertiary-care hospital. The source was traced to the outside packages of dressing supplies, which had become contaminated during construction in the central Inventory Control area. This resulted in patients with large exposed surface areas being inoculated directly with Aspergillus spores.
