摘要：
Fungal infection caused by Fusarium species is life-threatening in immunocompromised patients. The patient typically presents with nodular skin lesions, myalgias, and fungemia. Infection most often occurs during periods of prolonged neutropenia. Even innocuous-appearing periungual infections can rapidly disseminate in the neutropenic host, leading to death within a few days.
