Both Paecilomyces spp. and Alternaria spp. are hyphomycetes with a worldwide distribution, and with many species being common saprophytes in soil and air. Both species mainly cause infections in immunocompromised patients, but also in an increasing number of immunocompetent hosts. We describe a double-lung transplant patient suffering successively from two rare cutaneous fungal infections caused by Paecilomyces lilacinus and Alternaria infectoria. Antifungal treatment and surgery of residual skin lesions was necessary to cure the infections. With this report, we aim at highlighting the importance of dermatological control of patients post lung transplantation.
拟青霉属和链格孢属均为丝孢菌，分布于世界各地，许多种类是土壤和空气中常见的腐生菌。这两个属的菌主要引起免疫功能低下患者的感染，但在免疫功能正常宿主中的感染也日益增多。我们描述了一名双肺移植患者先后感染了由淡紫拟青霉和侵染链格孢引起的两种罕见皮肤真菌感染。为治愈感染，抗真菌治疗和残余皮肤病变的手术是必要的。通过本报告，我们旨在强调肺移植术后患者皮肤检查的重要性。
