Abstract:
Disseminated fungal infections constitute one of the most challenging threats to the clinical fraternity.1 Infection with Fusarium is associated with high mortality. A preterm low-birth weight baby was admitted in the NICU of a tertiary care hospital, for the management of low birth weight. In due course, she developed upper GI bleed, seizure episodes and further complicated by septic shock. Radiological findings were non-remarkable. Urine and blood samples were sent for routine microscopy and culture/sensitivity as well as fungal culture. The samples were inoculated on Blood Agar, MacConkey Agar and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA), following standard conventional methods. Growth on SDA was identified as Fusarium solani. The patient was treated with Intravenous administration of antibiotics Levofloxacin, Colistin and antifungal drug Fluconazole. Blood samples when cultured after therapeutic intervention did not show growth of any organism. The patient responded to the treatment and was discharged.
