Primary cutaneous aspergillosis is a rare fungal infection that usually arises from direct inoculation of the skin. We present a case of a patient with acute leukemia who sustained a traumatic injury to his finger, which progressed to a severe necrotizing soft tissue fungal infection following the onset neutropenia. This case underscores the importance of early recognition and prompt initiation of antifungal treatment in patients who are immunocompromised, while highlighting the potential for rapid progression and severe outcomes.
原发性皮肤曲霉病是一种罕见的真菌感染,通常由皮肤直接接种引起。我们报告一例急性白血病患者,其手指遭受创伤性损伤,在出现中性粒细胞减少症后进展为严重的坏死性软组织真菌感染。该病例强调了对免疫功能低下患者早期识别并迅速启动抗真菌治疗的重要性,同时突出了病情快速进展和严重后果的可能性。
