  • Title: Skin lesion in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia.
    Author: Kothari A, Shalin SC, Crescencio JC, Burgess MJ.
    Journal: Transpl Infect Dis; 2017 Feb; 19(1):. PubMed ID: 27862750.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 51-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia who developed fevers with a skin lesion following the first cycle of induction chemotherapy. Skin biopsy showed evidence of invasive fungal infection. Cultures remained negative, but polymerase chain reaction on tissue detected Rhizopus oryzae complex. The patient was started on liposomal amphotericin B and underwent surgical debridement. He was switched to posaconazole, with plans for allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplant in the future.
