Disseminated fusariosis after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: case report
In allogenic stem cell recipients, invasive fungal disease is a common yet dreaded complication with high mortality. Among these, fusariosis is especially complex to treat due to high intrinsic resistance and few antimycotic options, requiring close cooperation of all involved departments. We here report an instructive case of disseminated fusariosis after allogenic stem cell transplantation with fatal outcome despite maximum treatment.
