A 26-year-old male with relapsed acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5) in China developed fungemia during consolidation chemotherapy. Diagnosis was confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS and ITS sequencing. Antifungal susceptibility revealed resistance to echinocandins but sensitivity to amphotericin B. Serial (1,3)-β-D-glucan monitoring correlated with disease progression. This case highlights diagnostic challenges and therapeutic dilemmas in regions lacking epidemiological data.
一名26岁复发急性单核细胞白血病(AML-M5)的中国男性在巩固化疗期间发生真菌血症。通过基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)和内转录间隔区(ITS)测序确诊。抗真菌药敏试验显示对棘白菌素耐药,但对两性霉素B敏感。连续监测(1,3)-β-D-葡聚糖与疾病进展相关。该病例凸显了在缺乏流行病学数据地区的诊断挑战和治疗困境。
