Fusarium, a Significant Emerging Pathogen in Patients With Hematologic Malignancy: Ten Years' Experience at a Cancer Center and Implications for Management
Open accessAbstract
Despite increasing reports of life-threatening Fusarium infections, little is known about its pathogenesis and management. To evaluate the epidemiology, clinicopathologic features, and outcome of invasive fusariosis in patients with hematologic cancer, we conducted a retrospective study of invasive fusarial infections in patients with hematologic malignancy treated at a referral cancer center over a 10-year period (1986 to 1995), as well as a literature review. Forty patients with disseminated and three patients with invasive lung infection were included in the analysis. All patients were immunocompromised. The infection occurred in three patients postengraftment following bone marrow transplantation. All patients were diagnosed antemortem. Thirteen patients responded to therapy, but the infection relapsed in two of them. Response was associated with granulocyte transfusions, amphotericin B lipid formulations (four patients each), and an investigational triazole (two patients). Resolution of infection was only seen in patients who ultimately recovered from myelosuppression. Portal of entry was the skin (33%), the sinopulmonary tree (30%), and unknown (37%). Fusarium causes serious morbidity and mortality, and may mimic aspergillosis. The infection seems to respond to newer therapeutic approaches, but only in patients with ultimate recovery from myelosuppression, and it may relapse if neutropenia recurs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
