species are ubiquitous fungi causing a wide array of infections, including invasive disease in the immunosuppressed. We present a fusarium bone infection in a child with Pearson syndrome and review the literature. Ten cases of fusarium osteomyelitis were reported in the past 40 years, and we review the treatments.

Progression of Sclerouveitis to Endogenous Endophthalmitis.
Case Rep Ophthalmol Med

Department of Ophthalmology Jones Eye Institute University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.
We describe a unique case of sclerouveitis that progressed to endogenous endophthalmitis in a 69-year-old male with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We highlight the risk of treating sclerouveitis with oral corticosteroids, which can exacerbate an infection and contribute to disease progression. A 69-year-old male with CLL on zanubrutinib, a second-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was admitted to the hospital for osteomyelitis of the left foot.

Article Synopsis
- Deep cutaneous mycoses (DCMs) and skin fungal infections can lead to serious health issues if not properly diagnosed and treated, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
- The most common culprits are dermatophytes, which can cause skin lesions that progress to more severe conditions like ulcers and even osteomyelitis.
- Accurate diagnosis involves a combination of clinical observation, imaging, microbiological culture, and in some hard-to-diagnose cases, molecular methods; a case study illustrated the challenges in distinguishing DCMs from other conditions, highlighting the significance of awareness in at-risk populations.
Analysis of epidemiological and clinical aspects in cases of fungal osteomyelitis caused by non-Candida species.

Osteomyelitis caused by non-Candida species is rare and often neglected, and current recommendations are based on primarily clinical experience and expert opinion. The objective of this study was to describe a case series of non-Candida fungal osteomyelitis. This retrospective study included 10 patients with non-Candida fungal osteomyelitis.

Introduction: Diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) is a severe complication of diabetic foot ulcerations (DFUs). Fusarium osteomyelitis in patients who are severely immunocompromised is not well documented in current literature. Fusarium is an invasive fungal species that has been shown to respond poorly to antifungal therapy alone, and bone debridement is usually required.
