  • Title: Systemic Fusarium nygamai infection in a patient with lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    Author: Krulder JW, Brimicombe RW, Wijermans PW, Gams W.
    Journal: Mycoses; 1996; 39(3-4):121-3. PubMed ID: 8767005.
    Abstract:
    We report the case history of a 35-year-old male patient with lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who acquired a systemic infection with Fusarium nygamai during the granulocytopenic phase of cytostatic treatment. The patient survived this infection after haematological recovery and treatment with intravenous amphotericin B (total dose 543 mg). Subsequent chemotherapy courses were not complicated by fungal infections. A recent trip to Egypt and severe chemotherapy-induced mucositis were probably the major causes of this severe infection.
