Resumen
OLIVARES, Roberto; LUPPI, Mario y DIAZ, M. Cristina. Successful treatment of disseminated fusariosis in a febrile neutropenic patient with combined antifungal therapy of voriconazol plus amphotericin B deoxycholate. Rev. chil. infectol. [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.4, pp.448-452. ISSN 0716-1018. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/s0716-10182018000400448.
We report a case of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), who developed a disseminated infection by Fusarium verticillioides during chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. He was successfully treated only after combination therapy with voriconazole plus amphotericin B deoxycolate was used, but not when these compounds were used in an isolated form.
