摘要：

Acremonium species (previously Cephalosporium) are saprophytic moulds of low pathogenicity commonly found in the environment. We report a case of repeated acremonium fungaemia in a neutropenic patient, probably associated with a Hickman line. Fungaemia was accompanied by fever and a papular skin rash, both of which appeared to resolve when the neutrophil count recovered without antifungal chemotherapy, only to return when the patient next became neutropenic. © 1992 The British Society for the Study of Infection.
