Abstract
We report a case of fulminant Mucorales fungemia in a heavily immunosuppressed cancer patient with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis following CD70-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. Although rare, Mucorales can cause true fungemia in a broad spectrum of hosts, with a range of manifestations from isolated fungemia to fungemia being part of widely disseminated, high-burden infection.
期刊介绍：
Open Forum Infectious Diseases provides a global forum for the publication of clinical, translational, and basic research findings in a fully open access, online journal environment. The journal reflects the broad diversity of the field of infectious diseases, and focuses on the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on knowledge that holds the potential to improve patient care in populations around the world. Fully peer-reviewed, OFID supports the international community of infectious diseases experts by providing a venue for articles that further the understanding of all aspects of infectious diseases.
