Breakthrough Invasive Sinusitis by Hormographiella aspergillata in a Neutropenic Patient Receiving Voriconazole Therapy: A Case Report and Review of Breakthrough H. aspergillata Infections.

Breakthrough invasive infections occurs during the use of antifungals both in prophylaxis and therapy, it favors the emergence of new pathogens in the fungal landscape. Hormographiella aspergillata is considered a rare but emerging pathogen in the era of broad-spectrum antifungal use in patients with hematological malignancies. Here, we present a case report of invasive sinusitis due to Hormographiella aspergillata, manifesting as a breakthrough infection in a patient with severe aplastic anemia under treatment with voriconazole for invasive pulmonary aspergilosis. Also, we make a review of H. aspergillata breakthrough infections published in the literature.
