Saksenaea vasiformis complex is an emerging cause of mucormycosis. We report a case of an immunocompetent patient presenting with a non-resolving lung mass who developed multiple skin nodules. Skin biopsy yielded Saksenaea vasiformis complex. This showcases an uncommon occurrence of disseminated Saksenaea infection without cutaneous inoculation that improved with posaconazole.
棘孢木霉复合体是一种新兴的毛霉病病因。我们报告了一例免疫功能正常的患者,其表现为肺部肿块持续存在,且出现多个皮肤结节。皮肤活检显示为棘孢木霉复合体。这展示了一种不常见的无皮肤接种的播散性棘孢木霉感染,其经泊沙康唑治疗后得到改善。
