Abstract
This report describes a case of fatal aspergillosis caused by A. fumigatus
during the recovery of an oiled Magallanic penguin. The possible role of as
pergillosis as a possible complication responsible for the mortality of pen
guins surviving the first days of treatment for oil is emphasized.
