Trichoderma longibrachiatum, a filamentous fungus, was recently described as an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of isolated invasive lung infection by T. longibrachiatum in a patient with hematologic malignancy. The infection mimicked invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and was successfully treated with a combination of voriconazole and caspofungin.
长枝木霉是一种丝状真菌,最近被描述为免疫功能低下患者中的一种新兴病原体。据我们所知,本文报告了首例长枝木霉引起的孤立性侵袭性肺部感染病例,该患者患有血液系统恶性肿瘤。该感染类似侵袭性肺曲霉病,通过伏立康唑和卡泊芬净联合治疗成功治愈。
