Abstract
|
|
|
Following chemotherapy for acute myelomoncytic leukemia, an 8-year-old boy developed several painful erythematous indurated patches at previous sampling sites and at the site where an arm board and adhesive tape were used in securing an
intravenous
infusion set. The lesions rapidly progressed to ulcers with central black eschars.
Biopsies and cultures demonstrated a fungus. Aspergillus flavus, as the etiologic agent, without evidence of systemic dissemination. Local care, including surgical debridement, were performed. The patient also received treatment with intravenous
amphotericin B followed by oral itraconazole.
Six months later. the skin lesions had healed, leaving some scar and deformities.
