Abstract
A 56-year-old woman with Ph1-Positive acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia was admitted to our hospital for induction chemotherapy in June 1999. The patient was presented with a central scotoma of left eye during treatment course and was given diagnosis of endophthalmitis . Thereafter she also developed skin induration and suffered from serious pneumonia.<BR>Amphotericin B administration was started because of high titer of β-D-glucan, but soon discontinued due to its adverse effect. Blood cultures yielded colonies of fungus and it was identified Fusarium solani. Her general condition deteriorated with progression of pneumonia, and she died of respiratory insufficiency. Autopsy was performed, and its specimen revealed the disseminated infection of Fusarium solani (lung, eye, heart, kidney and skin).<BR>We should pay special attention to the fusariosis in Japan also.
