We report a case of Fusarium oxysporum fungemia that was related to the presence of a central venous catheter and was confirmed by quantitative cultures and scanning electron microscopy of the catheter hub, subcutaneous segment and cuff, and tip. Despite progressive neutropenia, the infection responded to antifungal therapy within 1 day after the catheter was removed. The removal of the catheter could have contributed to the patient's early favorable response.
我们报告了一例与中心静脉导管相关的尖孢镰刀菌血症病例,通过对导管接头、皮下段、袖套和尖端进行定量培养及扫描电子显微镜检查得以确诊。尽管患者中性粒细胞持续减少,但在拔除导管后1天内,感染对抗真菌治疗产生了反应。导管的拔除可能促使患者早期出现良好反应。
