Magnusiomyces capitatus bloodstream infection in a patient with acute monocytic leukemia: A rare case report
A 26-year-old male with relapsed acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5) in China developed <i>Magnusiomyces capitatus</i> fungemia during consolidation chemotherapy. Diagnosis was confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS and ITS sequencing. Antifungal susceptibility revealed resistance to echinocandins but sensitivity to amphotericin B. Serial (1,3)-β-D-glucan monitoring correlated with disease progression. This case highlights diagnostic challenges and therapeutic dilemmas in regions lacking epidemiological data.
