Extensive and recurrent infection caused by Medicopsis romeroi in two immunocompromised patients
This case report describes two patients with weakened immune systems who developed serious fungal skin infections caused by a rare mold called Medicopsis romeroi. Both patients underwent multiple surgeries and required extended antifungal medication treatment lasting months to years. The study demonstrates that successful treatment requires a combination approach including surgical removal of infected tissue, adjustment of immunosuppressive medications, and prolonged antifungal therapy.
