Lecythophora Soft-Tissue Infection: Case Report and Treatment Considerations
1Infectious Diseases, CommonSpirit Health, Omaha, USA.
Abstract:
Lecythophora hoffmannii is a saprophytic fungus commonly found in the environment. Able to be isolated from soil, it is frequently associated with the soft rot of wood. Although human infections are not common, they have been reported, and have ranged from keratitis and soft-tissue infection to deep osteomyelitis and endometritis. Here we report a case of soft-tissue infection with this pathogen along with successful treatment with standard-dose terbinafine when other agents were unavailable. The true prevalence of infections with this pathogen is unclear and further data are needed to determine optimal therapy.
