Abstrakt

Paecilomyces can cause hyalohyphomycosis, a type of fungal infection in which the basic tissue form of fungus is hyaline and any pigment in the cell wall is not present. Generally Paecilomyces infects immunocompromised patients, though it infects immunocompetent host also, commonly with eye implants and surgery. There are two important species of Paecilomyces, Paecilomyces lilacinus and Paecilomyces variotii, which are reported to cause human infection. Here we are reporting a case of subcutaneous infection caused by P. variotii in an Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (M3) patient following chemotherapy.
