Two cases of Fusarium infection in children with neuroblastoma are reported. One of the patients had an overwhelming infection and the diagnosis was based on isolation of Fusarium moniliforme from blood and skin biopsy, and histological findings. The second patient developed chronic polyarthritis and Fusarium solani was cultured from synovial fluid samples taken from two different joints four months apart.
