Abstract

Reported here is the case of a 22-year-old man who developed pneumonia with unusual pathogens after a near-drowning incident. On day 7 following admission, Rhizopus spp. and Aspergillus fumigatus were cultured from the patient's bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. One week later, sputum cultures revealed N. cyriacigeorgici as well as N. farcinica. The patient recovered fully after prolonged therapy with liposomal amphotericin B, amikacin, meropenem and cotrimoxazole. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
