| Popis: | In a patient treated for a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a lung abscess caused by Hormographiella aspergillata (stat. anamorph. Coprinus cinereus) was diagnosed using an ultrasound-guided puncture of the lesion. The patient appeared to respond to amphotericin B, but at the same time was also recovering from her neutropenic episode. The extent to which each of these two factors explains the complete resolution of the infection is unclear. Expert classical morphological examination and molecular typing methods were needed to identify this filamentous basidiomycetous fungus. |
