A 47-year-old woman with acute myeloblastic leukemia developed disseminated papules and pustules after chemotherapy. A skin biopsy specimen revealed fungal vasculitis and grew Fusarium solani. The patient died despite treatment with amphotericin B. The isolate was resistant to amphotericin B, imidazole and 5-fluocytosine. Fusarium should be recognized as a potential cause of deep fungal infection in immunocompromised patients.
