    Author: Tanphaichitr VS, Chaiprasert A, Suvatte V, Thasnakorn P.
    Journal: Mycoses; 1990 Jun; 33(6):303-9. PubMed ID: 2259371.
    Abstract:
    A first case of subcutaneous infection caused by Saksenaea vasiformis in an 11-year-old Thai thalassaemic boy was described. The specific diagnosis of infection was attained from microscopic demonstration of the causal agent as well as the isolation of the fungus. The patient was successfully treated by debridement of the lesion and parenteral amphotericin B. The predisposing factors, source of infection and regimen for treatment are discussed.
