Fusarium spp. may cause invasive disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We describe a case of disseminated fusariosis with fungemia and skin localization caused by Fusarium musae in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia successfully treated using liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole.
