Isolated fungal soft-tissue infections are uncommon but may cause severe morbidity or mortality, especially among immunosuppressed patients. In this study, a total of 56 soft-tissue specimens from patients with clinical suspicion of fungal infection collected at a tertiary care centre in Chennai during the period December 2005 to May 2007 were evaluated. Among the culture positives, majority were from diabetic patients. Among the 34 culture positives, the isolates consisted of Candida 12, Fusarium 4, Rhizopus 1 and Aspergillus 3 one each of Absidia corymbifera and Apophysomyces elegans. Treatment of fungal soft-tissue infection requires a team approach of surgeons, pathologists and microbiologists.
孤立性真菌软组织感染并不常见，但可能导致严重的发病或死亡，尤其是在免疫抑制患者中。在本研究中，对2005年12月至2007年5月期间在金奈一家三级医疗中心收集的56份临床怀疑有真菌感染患者的软组织标本进行了评估。在培养阳性标本中，大多数来自糖尿病患者。在34份培养阳性标本中，分离出的真菌包括念珠菌12株、镰刀菌4株、根霉1株、曲霉菌3株，以及伞枝犁头霉和雅致枝霉各1株。真菌软组织感染的治疗需要外科医生、病理学家和微生物学家的团队协作。
