Key result
Dual antifungal therapy successfully clears refractory Fusarium solani endocarditis in an immunocompromised pediatric patient.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Fungal infections caused by Fusarium in the immunocompromised host are highly resistant to all antifungal agents. Fusarium endocarditis is a rare and usually fatal disease. We report an immunocompromised child who survived Fusarium solani endocarditis despite the in vitro resistance of the organism to all available antifungal agents.
