  • Title: Molecular identification of phaeohyphomycosis due to Alternaria infectoria in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia--a case report.
    Author: Leahy TR, Punnett AS, Richardson SE, Gharabaghi F, Wadhwa A.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2010 Mar; 66(3):318-21. PubMed ID: 19896319.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 15-year old with acute myeloid leukemia who developed breakthrough invasive fungal rhinitis. The fungus was identified as Alternaria infectoria by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and successfully treated by surgical excision and combination antifungal therapy, emphasizing the utility of fungal PCR in timely diagnosis of invasive fungal infections.
