Fusarium proliferatum is a fungal plant pathogen infecting crops and also can affect humans as well.[3]
It has a worldwide distribution and has been associated with a variety of diseases in important economical crop plants, such as corn and bananas.[4][5]
It can cause a disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients,[6][7][8] The fungus can also cause an abscesses within the body where the trauma or damage is caused by a plant, such as Onychomycosis (nail infections).[9][10] The fungus was discovered in 2003 as an agent that can cause Fusarium keratitis when found within a contact lens preservation solution.[11]
