Rare and emerging opportunistic fungal pathogens are a serious and growing concern for immunosuppressed patients. Macrophomina phaseolina, an important soilborne plant pathogen in tropical and subtropical soil, should be considered in this category. It may be evident as a localized cutaneous cellulitis or as an ocular keratitis. We describe a 42-year-old diabetic male originally from India in whom a soft tissue mass of the foot proved to be an M. phaseolina cellulitis and review the literature. To our knowledge, only four individuals have been documented with infections with this organism, three of whom were immunocompromised.
罕见和新兴的机会性真菌病原体是免疫抑制患者严重且日益关注的问题。在这一类别中，应考虑热带和亚热带土壤中重要的土传植物病原体 Macrophomina phaseolina。它可能表现为局部皮肤蜂窝织炎或眼部角膜炎。我们描述了一名来自印度的 42 岁糖尿病男性，他足部的软组织肿块被证实为 M. phaseolina 蜂窝织炎，并复习了文献。据我们所知，只有四人被记录患有这种病原体感染，其中三人免疫功能低下。
