The opportunistic fungus () can cause either cutaneous or systemic infections. We report a case of fungemia in a 22-year-old male with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) who developed concomitant () septicemia. The fungal infection was diagnosed by microscopic examination and culture-based methods, while automated blood culture systems and molecular approaches failed in identifying the fungus. Despite appropriate therapy, the patient died 18 days after the hospitalization.
机会性真菌()可引起皮肤或全身感染。我们报告一例22岁患T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)的男性发生真菌血症,同时并发()败血症。真菌感染通过显微镜检查和基于培养的方法诊断,而自动血培养系统和分子方法未能鉴定出该真菌。尽管进行了适当治疗,患者在住院18天后死亡。
