We report a fatal case of disseminated Emmonsia sp. infection in a 55-year-old man who received an orthotopic liver transplant. The patient had pneumonia and fungemia, and multisystem organ failure developed. As human habitats and the number of immunocompromised patients increase, physicians must be aware of this emerging fungal infection.
我们报告了一例55岁接受原位肝移植男性患者发生播散性埃蒙斯菌属感染的致死病例。该患者出现肺炎和真菌血症,并发展为多系统器官衰竭。随着人类栖息地的扩大以及免疫功能低下患者数量的增加,医生必须意识到这种新出现的真菌感染。
