Fusariosis is a rare but severe opportunistic fungal infection, mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. We report the case of an 8-year-old girl with acute leukemia who developed disseminated fusariosis presenting with painful hemorrhagic vesiculobullous and necrotic skin lesions associated with fever. Blood cultures and skin biopsy confirmed infection with Fusarium species. The patient showed significant clinical improvement after treatment with intravenous amphotericin B. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of cutaneous manifestations as a key diagnostic clue in invasive fusariosis.
