Invasive Rasamsonia spp. infections are rare and usually associated with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). We present a case of pulmonary and possible cerebral infection due to Rasamsonia argillacea in a girl with CGD receiving no primary antifungal prophylaxis. There was a fatal outcome despite the combination of antifungal therapy and surgical interventions. We also conducted a literature review on reported invasive Rasamsonia spp. infections in the setting of CGD.
侵袭性拉沙氏菌属感染较为罕见,通常与慢性肉芽肿病(CGD)有关。我们报告了一例 CGD 女孩发生肺和可能的脑感染,该女孩未接受初级抗真菌预防。尽管联合使用抗真菌治疗和手术干预,仍导致了致命结局。我们还对 CGD 背景下报告的侵袭性拉沙氏菌属感染进行了文献复习。
