Early in his hospital course, the patient was diagnosed with a Fusarium burn wound infection with concomitant fungemia and was treated with a prolonged course of intravenous (IV) antifungal monotherapy. Shortly thereafter, he developed focal neurologic deficits and was found to have brain abscesses on MRI. He underwent emergent craniotomy with debridement, and triple antifungal therapy was initiated. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated pulmonic valve vegetations, which resolved with triple antifungal therapy. Disseminated Fusarium solani infection is quite rare with mortality approaching 100%. Given the rarity of this disease process, there are no established antifungal treatment guidelines. However, this patient survived for approximately 1\u2009year after diagnosis with treatment including source control via craniotomy and debridement coupled with prolonged courses of combination antifungal therapy (given the near pan-resistance of his fungal infection). Pharmacogenomic testing was utilized to establish the patient\u2019s metabolism of voriconazole and dosing adjusted accordingly to improve the efficacy of the combination therapy. To our knowledge, an adult burn patient surviving this length of time after Fusarium brain abscesses with disseminated infection has not been previously described.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usae284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,5]],"date-time":"2024-06-05T19:34:19Z","timestamp":1717616059000},"page":"e869-e872","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Precision Medicine Approach Using Triple Combination Antifungal Therapy for <i>Fusarium<\/i> Brain Abscesses and Endocarditis in an Adult Burn Patient"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"190","author":[{"given":"Evan L","family":"Barrios","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine , Gainesville, FL 32610-0108,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2724-5433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary","family":"Drabick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, UF Health Shands Hospital , Gainesville, FL 32608,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine , Gainesville, FL 32610-0108,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brenda G","family":"Fahy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, University of Florida College of Medicine , Gainesville, FL 32610-0254,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amalia L","family":"Cochran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine , Gainesville, FL 32610-0108,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2759-5377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ian R","family":"Driscoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine , Gainesville, FL 32610-0108,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea M","family":"Munden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine , Gainesville, FL 32610-0108,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2025031111132951600_R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1991.01410250048008","article-title":"Fungal burn wound infection.
