title: Successful Treatment of DisseminatedAnncaliia algeraeMicrosporidial Infection With Combination Fumagillin and Albendazole.
abstract: Anncaliia algeraemyositis is a life-threatening, emerging microsporidiosis among immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of disseminatedA algeraeinfection in a man previously treated with alemtuzumab. Due to failure of albendazole-based therapy, fumagillin was added as a novel approach to management, with a good clinical response and patient survival.
