| Candida albicans | Frequent in recipients of liver grafts (20%). The cutaneous lesions can result from direct inoculation or from seeding from hematogenous dissemination (Aspergillus fumigatus). Protean clinical manifestations. Appear as isolated or multiple subcutaneous nodules that are violaceous, and can be necrotic, forming abscesses. Voriconazole might be an efficient alternative to amphotericin B. Liver failure preceding transplantation may increase the risk of fungal infection. Such fungal infection may lead to plastic surgery for reconstruction.[1] |
