Abstract:
Coprinopsis cinerea is an environmental fungus which can cause disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients, often leading to death. Here we report the case of a paediatric patient with an invasive wound infection due to C. cinerea, which was successfully treated with surgical debridement and oral posaconazole.
Insights
Coprinopsis cinerea infections can be fatal in immunocompromised individuals. This case highlights successful treatment of a pediatric invasive wound infection using surgical debridement and posaconazole.
Area of Science:
- Mycology
- Infectious Diseases
- Clinical Case Study
Background:
- Coprinopsis cinerea is an environmental fungus.
- It poses a significant risk of disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients, often with fatal outcomes.
- Invasive fungal infections require prompt diagnosis and effective treatment.
