title: Successful outcome of disseminated Fusarium infection with skin localization treated with voriconazole and amphotericin B-lipid complex in a patient with acute leukemia.
abstract: A disseminated Fusarium oxysporum infection with skin localization was diagnosed in a woman with a relapse of B-acute leukemia during induction chemotherapy. The infection was refractory to amphotericin B-lipid complex alone but responded successfully when voriconazole was added.
