| Abstract: | Three cases are reported of disseminated infection due toFusarium species in severely neutropenic patients. The clinical findings in all patients included fever, painful disseminated nodular skin lesions and severe myalgia. The outcome was fatal despite early administration of amphotericin B. The portal of entry of the organism was probably the nasal sinus in two cases. |
