    Author: Vega W, Orellana M, Zaror L, Gené J, Guarro J.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 2006 Oct; 162(4):289-94. PubMed ID: 17039275.
    Abstract:
    Since the first human infection by Saksenaea vasiformis in 1976 another 26 cases have been reported. Here is a report of a new case which involved an Ecuadorian adolescent who suffered serious burns after a car accident. It developed as a localized cutaneous infection which was successfully treated with surgical debridement and amphotericin B. This is the second report of this infection from South America and the third involving a burn patient. The previously reported 27 cases are reviewed.
