The histopathological finding of Aspergillus spp was confirmed by nucleotide sequencing. The internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 regions and the 5.8S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction using the universal primers ITS1 and ITS4, as described. 10  Sequencing was performed using the BigDye® Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing (Applied Biosystems) and the above primers on an individual basis. Only the best sequences were used to perform contig assembly and conduct comparative analysis with the GenBank database using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool. The best hit returns were Aspergillus penicillioides. The sequence was submitted to GenBank and received the accession number MT582426.
