Fusariosis in immunocompetent persons: Deeply localized or disseminated granulomatous skin infections are usually only found in immunocompromised persons. Infections through non-sterile catheters have also been observed in cases of lack of hygiene in hospitals.
Fusarium solani causes so-called mycotoxicoses, i.e. symptoms of poisoning by mycotoxins (e.g. naphthoquinone, fusaric acid, diacetoxyscirpenol), especially in horses and cattle through the ingestion of mouldy feedstuffs such as hay, silage and cereals, like other species of chimpanzee fungus.
