چکیده
# Introduction This case report illustrates the diagnostic challenges and complexities in treatment of disseminated fusariosis. Case An 18-year-old patient received a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) 5 months after first HSCT. Two days post-transplant, presented neutropenic fever with diffuse multiple cutaneous papular lesions under isavuconazole prophylaxis. A diagnosis fusariosis due to *Fusarium fujikoroi* was established. Antifungal therapy had be adapted times for efficacy safety issues. Long-term combination posaconazole terbinafine efficiently controlled infection well tolerated. Discussion three major teaching points: (i) high clinical suspicion based on typical microbiologic findings is key factor fusariosis; (ii) challenging variable antifungal agent minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs); (iii) long-term administration voriconazole can associated multiple, less frequently seen adverse events. Conclusion Typical skin positive blood cultures molds should promptly rise Amphotericin-B are first-line agents Second-line such as used.

متن کاملBreakthrough disseminated Aspergillus ustus infection in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients receiving voriconazole or caspofungin prophylaxis.
Aspergillus ustus is an uncommon clinical species which is poorly susceptible to antifungals. We report two cases of A. ustus infections that occurred in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients while they were receiving either voriconazole or caspofungin. Prolonged use of these new antifungal agents may increase the risk of the emergence of resistant organisms.

Disseminated infection by Fusarium is a rare, frequently lethal condition in severely immunocompromised patients, including bone marrow transplant recipients. However, autologous bone marrow transplant recipients are not expected to be at high risk to develop fusariosis. We report a rare case of lethal disseminated Fusarium infection in an autologous bone marrow transplant recipient during pre-...

BACKGROUND Fusarium species are among the leading fungal pathogens to cause invasive mould infections in patients with hematopoietic malignancy. The Fusarium species most frequently involved in human infections are Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium verticillioides. However, identification is a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Fusarium is resistant in vitro to many of the antif...
