Abstract
|
|
|
Fusarium species are known as ubiquitous soil saprophytes and human skin contaminants. Infections caused by
Fusarium species are increasing in frequency among immunocompromised hosts. We report a rare case of fatal
disseminated infection caused by Fusarium solani in an acute myeloid leukemia patient. Skin biopsy specimen revealed multiple branched hyphae and spores in the vessel with thrombus formation, and fungal culture showed a fuzzy, whitish colony. Direct sequencing of 28S rRNA gene confirmed the isolate as Fusarium solani. (Korean J Dermatol 2008;46(6):846∼850)
