Abstract

Immunocompromised patients are at risk of complex invasive fungal infections. We report the case of a patient with profound immunosuppression following allogeneic stem cell transplantation who presented with a concurrent pulmonary infection due to Aspergillus nidulans and Verruconis spp. This case highlights the therapeutic challenges of managing simultaneous aspergillosis and phaeohyphomycosis in a patient with significant immune compromise.
