Disseminated Fusarium oxysporum infection in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

Abstract

The portal of entry of disseminated Fusarium spp. infections is still not clearly defined. We report on a disseminated Fusarium oxysporum infection occurring during a Long period of severe neutropenia in a child with hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. A nasogastric feeding tube was the possible source of entry of the fungus.
