J Clin Microbiol 2009 Oct 21.
Rhizomucor variabilis and Hormographiella aspergillata rarely cause human infections. This report details a fatal case in a 14 year old female with leukemia post hematopoietic cell transplant and relapse with refractory pancytopenia. The patient first developed R. variabilis var. variabilis palate infection and later developed a cutaneous H. aspergillata infection while on posaconazole and caspofungin therapy.
