“…Disseminated infections caused by Acremonium species have rarely been described in the literature; in a review by Guarro et al (1997), there were 36 reported cases, excluding mycetoma and ocular infections. Disseminated Acremonium infections, including endocarditis, gastritis, fungaemia, meningitis, diffuse cerebritis and invasive pulmonary disease, have been reported in patients with predisposing conditions such as Addison's disease, neutropenia, immune suppression, burns, organ transplantation and intravenous drug abuse (Fincher et al, 1991;Lau et al, 1995;Fridkin & Jarvis, 1996;Schell & Perfect, 1996;Guarro et al, 1997;Koç et al, 1998;Anadolu et al, 2001). However, in the neonatal period, only one case has been reported in English literature (Papadatos et al, 1969).…”
