Catheter-Related Fusarium solani Fungemia and Pulmonary Infection in a Patient with Leukemia in Remission

Lamia Ammari, Jennifer M. Puck, KARIN L. McGOWAN

Open publisher page 41 citations

Abstract

Members of the genus Fusarium are ubiquitous fungi uncommonly associated with infection. Disseminated fusariosis typically occurs in neutropenic hosts and carries a high mortality rate. We present a case of disseminated fusariosis that is unique in terms of its relative lack of symptomatology despite documentation of fungemia and pulmonary nodules. A summary of the literature is also presented.
