Özet
Fusarium bloodstream infections, which are mostly seen in immunosuppressive patients, are serious life-threatening infec- tions. Here, we present a 35-year-old male patient who was being followed up for electric shock due to Fusarium fungemia, which developed while receiving antibacterial therapy. It was thought that the patient’s central venous catheter, use of broad-spec- trum antibiotics, and severe burn could be the most important risk factors. The patient was successfully treated by withdraw- ing the catheter and administering Liposomal Amphotericin-B 3 mg/kg daily for 3 weeks. Blood culture is critical in burn patients, and Fusarium infections should also be considered.
