Abstract

Fusarium spp. is an opportunistic mold that causes disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients. It is important to make a definite diagnosis because of high mortality rates. We present the case of a 27-year-old pregnant woman diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia with a prolonged febrile neutropenic period. She developed ecthyma gangrenosum-like lesions and simultaneously had Pseudomonas bacteremia and disseminated fusariosis. Histopathological and microbiological features of skin lesions had a critical role in differential diagnosis. Ecthyma gangrenosum-like lesions due to disseminated fusariosis might be easily misdiagnosed as lesions associated with Pseudomonas unless tissue cultures and histopathological examinations are performed.

Özet

Fusarium spp. immündüşkün hastalarda dissemine enfeksiyonlara neden olan oportünistik bir küf mantarıdır. Yüksek mortalite oranları nedeniyle kesin tanıya gitmek önemlidir. Sunmakta olduğumuz olguda uzamış febril nötropenik dönemde bulunan AML tanılı 27 yaşında bir gebede Pseudomonas bakteremisi ile dissemine fusariozis eşzamanlı gelişmiş ve aynı dönemde ektima gangrenozum benzeri lezyonlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayırıcı tanıda deri lezyonlarının histopatolojik ve mikrobiyolojik özellikleri önemli bir yer tutmuştur. Dissemine fusariozise bağlı ektima gangrenozum benzeri lezyonlar doku kültürü ve histopatolojik incelemeler yapılmazsa kolaylıkla Pseudomonas enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili lezyonlarla karıştırılabilir.
