摘要
Exophiala dermatitidis is a dematiaceous, ubiquitous, dimorphic fungus, which can cause a wide range of invasive diseases in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Bloodstream infections due to E. dermatitidis are rarely encountered in clinical practice, especially in pediatric patients. We describe a case of central line-associated bloodstream infection due to E. dermatitidis in a 4.5-year-old boy with Ewing's sarcoma. The fungus was isolated from blood specimens taken from the Hickman line. The isolate was identified by its phenotypic characteristics, by MALDI-TOF and by using molecular methods. The infection was successfully treated with voriconazole and catheter removal. The literature was also reviewed on pediatric infections caused by E. dermatitidis, focusing on clinical manifestations and challenges associated with diagnosis and management.
