Acrophialophora fusispora is a soil-borne fungus, which is emerging as a human pathogen. Only four cases of human infection had been described previously. We describe three more cases, two from Europe and one from India. Since this fungus has been misidentified in several other cases, it is probably more frequent than first thought.
融合顶孢霉是一种土壤传播的真菌,正逐渐成为一种人类病原体。此前仅描述过4例人类感染病例。我们在此描述另外3例病例,2例来自欧洲,1例来自印度。由于这种真菌在其他一些病例中被误认,其实际感染频率可能比最初认为的更高。
