Unusual mucocutaneous infections in immunosuppressed patients with leukemia--expansion of an earlier study.

PreviewIn 1979 in this journal, Dr Dreizen and his colleagues reported a series of patients with leukemia who had become severely infected with usually nonpathogenic organisms. In this sequel, as further evidence that every organism isolated from immunocompromised patients must be considered a potential enemy, they present a series of additional unusual mucocutaneous infections.
