| Title | The First Case of Invasive Mixed-Mold Infections Due to Emericella nidulans var. echinulata and Rasamsonia piperina in a Patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease. |

| Abstract |
A 16-year-old boy with chronic granulomatous disease presented with pneumonia and rib osteomyelitis. Emericella nidulans var. echinulata was isolated from his sputum. After starting voriconazole, Rasamsonia piperina was isolated from the rib swelling. A combination therapy of voriconazole and micafungin effectively eradicated this invasive mixed-mold infection. In immunocompromised patients, a precise pathogenic diagnosis is clinically useful for administration of an appropriate treatment regimen. |
