Disseminated Fusariosis Successfully Treated with Empirical Liposomal Amphotericin B and Voriconazole Combination Followed by Ocular Therapy in an Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipient.

ABSTRACT: We report the case of a 61-year-old man with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, who underwent unrelated peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Fusariosis was suspected prior to identification of the fungal species, and voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B combination therapy were administered. The patient developed fusarium-related endophthalmitis, accompanied by eye pain. Despite vitrectomy, the endophthalmitis was poorly controlled, and the left eye was enucleated. No recurrence of fusariosis was observed until death following multiple-organ failure due to steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease.
