Presently they are also categorised as Type IV Necrotising Fasciitis. \u0000Aim: The aim of this paper is to sensitise clinicians to the nature and rapid lethality of deep seated fungal infections, and discuss the various methods at our disposal to deal with these peculiar cases. \u0000Discussion: Here we describe a deep seated cutaneous fungal infection in an immunocompetent patient and the challenges we faced during the course of his management. Due to the nature of presentation, atypical symptoms, co morbid conditions that cause immuno-compromise and slow but aggressive progression of the disease, the associated mortality is high. \u0000Conclusion: The onus is on the clinicians to diagnose a fungal etiology early and start appropriate anti fungal measures. A high index of suspicion, early aggressive rehabilitation and use of empirical antifungals, while cultures are awaited, may prove lifesaving in patients with a deep seated cutaneous fungal infection.","PeriodicalId":188876,"journal":{"name":"Current Topics in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 12","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124105527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous complications like ventricular dysrhythmias and bundle branch block are well recognized complications during central venous access procedures, as was the case with our patient. The risk of complication during the insertion or exchange of central venous catheters has been well documented. The majority of complications involve mechanical problems, although rarely it may induce arrhythmias as well [1]. Herein we present a case of peripheral central venous catheter induced supraventricular tachycardia in a young patient of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.","PeriodicalId":188876,"journal":{"name":"Current Topics in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 12","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128408491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
