“…The outcome of disseminated fusariosis is usually poor, while local infection by Fusarium is associated with rather low mortality. 7 It should be noted that the present patient was infected with many agents including bacteria and fungi, a phenomenon noticed in other reports. 6 As the patient was infected with several bacteria and fungi, it is not possible to attribute the fatal outcome to one of the organisms.…”

“…Diabetes mellitus can increase the susceptibility to fungal infection due to the reduced response of T cells, neutrophil function, and disorders of humoral immunity [7]. In addition, Fusarium can rarely cause burn wound infection as an opportunistic pathogen [8,9]. Although common fungi observed in burn wound were species of Aspergillus , Mucor , and Candia , a small number of fungal infections caused by Fusarium species were frequently encountered in burn patients [10].…”

“…Moreover, a burn wound is alsoa risk factor of Fusarium infection. A few case reports of Fusarium species related to severely burnt patients have been published [9,10]. Thus, a combination of diabetes mellitus and the burn wound is probably responsible for the emergence of B. delphinoides as a fungal pathogen in human skin.…”

“…Eine kleine Studie hat gezeigt, dass Nystatinpuder, 6 Millionen Einheiten/Gramm, effektiv in der Behandlung von oberflächlichen und tiefen Brandwundeninfektionen durch Aspergillus fusarium spp. ist [47]. Zudem begünstigen feuchtigkeitsspeichernde Salben mit antimikrobiellen Substanzen eine rasche Autolyse, Debridement und feuchte Heilung von Verbrennungen 2.…”
