Disseminated Fusarium infection in autologous stem cell transplant recipient

Disseminated Fusarium infection in autologous stem cell transplant recipient

Disseminated infection by Fusarium is a rare, frequently lethal condition in severely immunocompromised patients, including bone marrow transplant recipients. However, autologous bone marrow transplant recipients are not expected to be at high risk to develop fusariosis. We report a rare case of let...
