pubmed:abstractText
A 50-year-old cadaveric renal transplant recipient on immunosuppressive therapy is described with post-traumatic cutaneous infection caused by Apophysomyces elegans. He showed no evidence of hematogenous dissemination and recovered fully after therapy with extensive local debridement and amphotericin B lipid complex. An apparent drug-drug interaction between amphotericin B lipid complex and cyclosporine was encountered. The course of A elegans infection in transplant recipients may be similar to that described in immunocompetent hosts. A elegans infection should be considered in evaluation of post-traumatic cutaneous infection not readily responsive to antibacterial therapy.
