title: Soft-tissue infection with Absidia corymbifera and kidney complications in an AIDS patient.
abstract: We describe a case of primary cutaneous Absidia corymbifera infection in an AIDS patient with renal complications. The Sensititre YeastOne panel was adopted to determine antifungal susceptibility and liposomial amphotericin B was used which initially produced a significant clinical response.
