Immunocompromised Hosts

Management of infections in the immunocompromised patient requires unique considerations that are not typically seen in the immunocompetent. Immunocompromised hosts require a broad set of differential diagnoses when presenting with febrile illness involving a wide variety of microbiology. Moreover, fungal infections are common, and cotreatment of fungal and bacterial infections occurs with regularity. Fungal coinfection, however, is rare. Here, we describe a patient with Aspergillus and recurrent Cryptococcus neoformans coinfection following completion of treatment for pulmonary cryptococcosis.

UNSTRUCTURED Cunninghamella species are an extremely rare cause of fungal infections. The usual mode of transmission is through inhalation however rare cases of cutaneous spread have been reported. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight the uniqueness of which the patient acquired the infection, the progression, and control of it. A 57-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia was found to have an abscess next to his peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line. The abscess culture grew back Cunninghamella and was debrided and treated with a novel antifungal. The fungal infection was controlled and the total timeframe took 28 days. Rapid recognition and prompt treatment demonstrate the prevention of rapidly progressive angioinvasian and further systemic complications. This case also proves that a novel antifungal may be appropriate in controlling the spread of Cunninghamella species.
