First case of Arthrographis kalrae fungemia in a patient with cystic fibrosis

Arthrographis kalrae is a hyalin fungus. It is a saprophyte of the environment, mainly found in soil and compost.

description Arthrographis kalrae is a hyalin fungus. It is a saprophyte of the environment, mainly found in soil and compost. In recent years, cases of opportunistic infections attributed to this pathogen have been described. Our patient was a 19-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis. She presented a bacterial and fungal pulmonary colonization with Aspergillus fumigatus and Arthrographis. kalrae. After her lung transplantation, she developed an A. kalrae fungemia, treated with caspofungin 50 mg/day associated to liposomal amphotericin B i.v. 3 mg/kg/day. The patient died 8 months after her transplantation as the result of a bacterial septic shock.
