Successsful voriconazole treatment of disseminated fusarium infection in an immunocompromised patient

Sophie Consigny et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

Fusarium infection is known to cause major morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts. We report the successful treatment of disseminated Fusarium infection with skin manifestations in a severely neutropenic, immunocompromised host with voriconazole, a new second-generation triazole. Voriconazole might be an alternative therapy for patients with neutropenia who have fusariosis that is refractory or unresponsive to amphotericin B or its liposomal formulation.
