Fusarium infection

A Fusarium infection, or fusariosis, is an opportunistic or superficial fungal disease caused by environmental molds of the genus *Fusarium*

A Fusarium infection, or fusariosis, is an opportunistic or superficial fungal disease caused by environmental molds of the genus *Fusarium* In immunocompetent hosts, the organism typically causes localized pathology following direct inoculation, such as keratitis, onychomycosis, or localized wound cellulitis This disseminated form is characterized by fungemia, refractory fever, sinopulmonary necrosis, and metastatic, painful erythematous or necrotic ecthyma-like cutaneous nodules, carrying high...

In immunocompetent hosts, the organism typically causes localized pathology following direct inoculation, such as keratitis, onychomycosis, or localized wound cellulitis Conversely, in severely immunocompromised individuals—notably patients with prolonged neutropenia, hematologic malignancies, or hematopoietic stem cell transplants—the infection frequently becomes angioinvasive and disseminates This disseminated form is characterized by fungemia, refractory fever, sinopulmonary necrosis, and met...
