Voriconazole-resistant disseminated Paecilomyces variotii infection in a neutropenic patient with leukaemia on voriconazole prophylaxis
J Infect.
2005 Nov.
Abstract
Paecilomyces variotii, an emerging hyalohyphomycetes, has been reported to be susceptible in vitro to voriconazole. We describe a case of disseminated P. variotii infection in a neutropenic child with relapsed leukaemia who was on voriconazole prophylaxis. The P. variotii isolate was resistant to voriconazole in vitro. The patient responded to liposomal amphotericin B.
