A 14-year-old child from Iraq presented with an acute febrile illness accompanied by large necrotic skin lesions and bronchopneumonia from which he subsequently died. The infection was caused by an unusual zygomycete fungus Saksenaea vasiformis. Previous reports of infection with this organism are rare and tissue invasion has usually followed traumatic injury. In the child reported here no predisposing abnormalities were apparent.
一名来自伊拉克的14岁儿童因急性发热性疾病就诊,伴有大面积坏死性皮肤病变和支气管肺炎,随后死亡。感染由一种不常见的接合菌真菌——梨头霉引起。此前关于该生物体感染的报道很少,且组织侵袭通常继发于创伤性损伤。在此报道的这名儿童身上未发现明显的易感异常情况。
