Abstract |
Phaeohyphomycoses are infections caused by dark-walled dematiaceous fungi. Alternaria and Curvularia are two genera of dematiaceous molds known to cause invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Co-infection with two dematiaceous fungi is rarely reported in the literature. This report describes a case of biopsy proven invasive fungal rhinosinusitis with Alternaria spp. and Curvularia spp. co-infection in a neutropenic host. The infection characteristics, microbiologic findings, and treatment are described.
