タイトル Disseminated infection by Bipolaris spicifera in an immunocompetent subject.
ジャーナル Med Mycol
Abstract We report a case of disseminated infection due to Bipolaris spicifera in an immunocompetent male. Histopathological studies of lymph node, lung, and liver biopsy specimens showed a dark pigmented, granular fungal structure inside the granuloma. The disease was accompanied by the unusual feature of positive lupus anticoagulant in serum and low-density areas expanding along the portal vein in the liver. The disease responded to combination therapy with intravenous amphotericin B and voriconazole, but recurred during oral itraconazole. The fungal isolate from the lymph node was identified as Bipolaris spicifera on the basis of morphology and molecular biological data.
