Background: Fusarium species is a facultative pathogen capable of causing invasive infections in patients with hematological malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a case of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma combined with disseminated fusariosis after HSCT in our hospital. Case reports of Fusarium fungemia in patients with hematological disorders over the past 20 years in Asia were reviewed.
Results: Despite undergoing treatment with a combination of amphotericin B and voriconazole, the patient ultimately succumbed to multiple organ failure.
Conclusions: Fusarium fungemia poses a fatal outcome. The adequate courses of antifungal medications are crucial.

Background: While invasive fusariosis and lomentosporiosis are known to be associated with fungemia, overall data on mold-related fungemia are limited, hampering early management. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of mold-positive blood cultures.
Methods: Epidemiological and clinical data on mold-positive blood cultures from 2012 to 2022 were obtained from the RESSIF database.

Purpose: We aim to present a case of disseminated fusariosis that occurred in the setting of immunosuppression and presented with bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis, along with a literature review of endophthalmitis, highlighting management strategies.
Observation: A 70-year-old male with acute myeloid leukemia who had recently undergone a bone marrow transplant noted bilateral floaters and decreased vision. He was found to have bilateral endophthalmitis, with subsequent evidence of fungemia and fusariosis in his skin and joints.
