Abstract
Magnusiomyces clavatus is a rare yeast-like fungus that can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Here, we present a 14-year-old patient who was followed up with the diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, developed skin rashes, and Magnusiomyces clavatus infection detected. The patient died shortly after the infection was diagnosed.
