Post‐transplant infections in allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplant (allo‐HCT) recipients
often have severe consequences. This is especially the case when dealing with zygomycete
infections where the result is often fatal. A major problem when dealing with zygomycete
infections is the need for an accurate and fast diagnosis as the phylum is highly resistant
towards the conventional antifungals. We herein describe a non‐fatal case of L ichtheimia
corymbifera infection in an allo‐HCT recipient.
