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]
