Fusarium solani endocarditis successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole
Pediatr Infect Dis J.
2004 Nov.
Abstract
Fungal infections caused by Fusarium in the immunocompromised host are highly resistant to all antifungal agents. Fusarium endocarditis is a rare and usually fatal disease. We report an immunocompromised child who survived Fusarium solani endocarditis despite the in vitro resistance of the organism to all available antifungal agents.
