Scopulariopsis species are rarely but increasingly recognized as opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients. We report on a patient suffering from cystic fibrosis who developed disseminated fungal infection due to a rare Scopulariopsis species, Microascus cirrosus, after heart and lung transplantation. Despite antifungal combination therapy with voriconazole and caspofungin, the patient died 4 weeks after transplantation. Diagnostic difficulties and optimal management of disseminated Scopulariopsis/Microascus infections are discussed.
曲霉属种在免疫功能低下的患者中是一种机会性致病菌,虽然罕见,但越来越受到重视。我们报告了一例囊性纤维化患者,在心肺移植后发生了罕见的曲霉属种——帚霉属中的Cirrosus 帚霉引起的播散性真菌感染。尽管采用伏立康唑和卡泊芬净的抗真菌联合治疗,患者在移植后 4 周死亡。本文讨论了播散性帚霉/曲霉属感染的诊断困难和最佳治疗方法。
