RESUMO

Disseminated infection by Fusariumis a rare, frequently lethal condition in severely immunocompromised patients, including bone marrow transplant recipients. However, autologous bone marrow transplant recipients are not expected to be at high risk to develop fusariosis. We report a rare case of lethal disseminated Fusariuminfection in an autologous bone marrow transplant recipient during pre-engraftment phase.
