- Abstract
Fusarium infection is known to cause major morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts. We report the successful treatment of disseminated Fusarium infection with skin manifestations in a severely neutropenic, immunocom-promised host with voriconazole, a new second-generation triazole. Voriconazole might be an alternative therapy for patients with neutropenia who have fusariosis that is refractory or unresponsive to amphotericin B or its liposomal formulation.
