Abstract
Invasive fungal infections most frequently caused by Aspergillus sp. and Candida sp. are significant causes of morbidity and mortality in severely immunocompromised patients, especially those who are neutropenic or who have undergone bone marrow or solid-organ transplant. We report a case of cutaneous hyalohyphomycosis in a 24-year-old female with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
