Infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in transplanted patients. The increasing number of immunocompromised patients has not only augmented infections by specific pathogens, but also by opportunistic microbial agents.
A mixed cutaneous infection caused by Nocardia brasiliensis and Exophiala jeanselmei is reported in a liver transplant patient.
The cutaneous lesions were painful nodules which drained purulent material. They were located on the right lower limb, with lymphadenopathies in the groin.
The patient was treated with itraconazole (600 mg/day) plus trimethoprim (1600 mg/day)-sulfamethoxazole (320 mg/day) for 8 weeks, with complete remission of the lesions.
感染是移植患者发病和死亡的主要原因。免疫功能低下患者数量的增加不仅增加了特定病原体引起的感染,也增加了机会性微生物病原体引起的感染。
