ABSTRACT.
We report a case of co-infection with Aspergillus fumigatus causing invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis and Trichophyton interdigitale tinea corporis in a returned traveler from flooded Sylhet region, Bangladesh. Anthropogenic climate change may lead to increased extreme weather–associated fungal infections. Travel to a flooded area should be considered a risk factor for fungal infection.
