Exophiala oligosperma is an uncommon pathogen associated with human infections, predominantly in immunocompromised hosts. Case reports of clinical infections related to E. oligosperma have been limited to 6 prior publications, all of which have shown limited susceptibility to conventional antifungal therapies, including amphotericin B, itraconazole, and fluconazole. We describe the first case of an E. oligosperma induced soft-tissue infection successfully treated with a 3-month course of voriconazole without persisting lesions.
少精子外瓶霉是一种与人类感染相关的罕见病原体,主要见于免疫功能低下的宿主。与少精子外瓶霉相关的临床感染病例报告此前仅限于6篇文献,所有这些报告均显示对包括两性霉素B、伊曲康唑和氟康唑在内的传统抗真菌疗法敏感性有限。我们描述了首例由少精子外瓶霉引起的软组织感染,通过3个月的伏立康唑疗程成功治愈且无持续病变。
