Abstract

Fusariosis, an emerging opportunistic mycosis caused by Fusarium species, carries a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. The dismal prognosis of patients with fusariosis is aggravated by the limited therapeutic options. Here we give an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, antifungal susceptibility and management of fusariosis.
