A rare case of purpuric rash caused by Saprochaete clavata in a pediatric patient with acute leukemia

We present a 13‐year‐old boy who developed invasive infection with Saprochaete clavata after induction chemotherapy for B‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, complicated by fungemia, septic shock and acute renal, and liver failure. He developed purpuric papulonodules over bilateral upper and lower limbs, which also grew S clavata on fungal culture.
