Title: A case of invasive rhinosinusitis by Fusarium verticillioides (Saccardo) Nirenberg in an apparently immunocompetent patient. Author: Macêdo DP, Neves RP, Fontan J, Souza-Motta CM, Lima D. Journal: Med Mycol; 2008 Aug; 46(5):499-503. PubMed ID: 18608897. Abstract: A case of chronic invasive rhinosinusitis in an apparently healthy man, caused by Fusarium verticillioides, is described. The identity of the isolate as F. verticillioides was established by demonstrating characteristic morphological features and by amplification of rDNA using species-specific primers. Surgical debridement of the infected nasal tissue and therapy with amphotericin B resulted in a favorable outcome. To the best of our knowledge, F. verticillioides has not been described previously to cause this condition.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
