Mycetoma Caused by Acremonium Species in a Patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease

الملخص EN

Patients with chronic granulomatous disease are predisposed to fungal infections and are therefore routinely prescribed antifungal prophylaxis.

We report a case where acremonium was responsible for causing a cutaneous infection (mycetoma) despite antifungal prophylaxis.

Treatment with voriconazole was initiated and the infection gradually resolved.

This case highlights the need for careful clinical follow-up and thorough investigation of patients who have a neutrophil immunodeficiency.
