摘要：Infections due to Fusarium species are collectively referred to as fusariosis.Fusarium oxysporum has been reported to cause keratitis,onychomycosis,skin infections,catheter associated fungemia and has not been described as a cause of urinary tract infection.Here,we present the first case of fusariosis with urinary tract involvement in a 67 year old male,with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.This case illustrates the ever increasing spectrum of rare but offending pathogenic fungi.Early diagnosis of infection with a specific pathogen may lead to changes in antifungal therapy and may be critical for an improved outcome.
