Abstract

Paecilomyces sp. are emerging pathogens in immunocompromised patients. We report here a case of Paecilomyces variotii fungemia, cured with amphotericin and anidulafungin, illustrating difficulties of early diagnosis and therapeutic choice in such rare fungal infection.

Keywords: Anidulafungin; Antifungal treatment; Fungemia; Mold; Paecilomyces variotii.
