Disseminated infection due to Cylindrocarpon lichenicola in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia
Disseminated infection due to Cylindrocarpon lichenicola in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia
We describe what is to our knowledge the first reported case of disseminated infection due to Cylindrocarpon. The presumed source was athlete's foot, a condition with which this fungus has previously been associated. Diagnosis was made by needle aspiration of a cutaneous lesion. Radiographic evidence of pulmonary involvement was present. The infection resolved following marrow regeneration and treatment with amphotericin B. Correct identification of Cylindrocarpon may be useful in guiding antifungal therapy.

Abstract
We describe what is to our knowledge the first reported case of disseminated infection due to Cylindrocarpon. The presumed source was athlete's foot, a condition with which this fungus has previously been associated. Diagnosis was made by needle aspiration of a cutaneous lesion. Radiographic evidence of pulmonary involvement was present. The infection resolved following marrow regeneration and treatment with amphotericin B. Correct identification of Cylindrocarpon may be useful in guiding antifungal therapy.
