Bjerkandera adusta Fungi as Causative Agent of Invasive Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

ABSTRACT: We report an invasive mycosis case in Japan caused by Bjerkandera adusta, a fungal species not previously reported as a causative pathogen of invasive mycosis. B. adusta was identified by using phylogenetic analysis. Voriconazole was used successfully for treatment. Immunodeficient patients may be susceptible to infection by rare causative fungi.
