Abstract

Paecilomyces lilacinus is a saprophytic mould which rarely causes infection in humans. We report a case of Paecilomyces lilacinus catheter-related fungemia in a chronic hemodialyzed patient. Blood cultures remained positive for 8 weeks. The infection was cured after eventual acceptance by the patient of oral voriconazole treatment for 6 weeks and removal of the tunneled catheter. The literature on Paecilomyces fungemia in humans is reviewed.
