Mondo Description Fusariosis describes a superficial, locally invasive, disseminated infection with the pathogenic fungus species, Fusarium, often found in soil and water, which is mainly transmitted to humans through traumatic inoculation and that manifests with keratitis, onychomycosis and less frequently peritonitis and cellulitis. In the immunocompromised, disseminated fusariosis is more common and it manifests with refractory fever, skin lesions (ecthyma-like, target, and multiple subcutaneous nodules), severe myalgias and sino-pulmonary infections.

Disease Ontology Description An opportunistic mycosis that involves localized or hematogenously disseminated fungal infection by Fusarium solani or Fusarium oxysporum. Skin lesions are seen in neutropenic patients, and indolent cellulitis or soft-tissue necrosis occur in immunocompromised patients at the site of trauma.
