چکیده
Based on an early diagnosis and reversal of the underlying predisposing condition, this patient with subacute presentation of mediastinal zygomycosis was treated successfully with AMB and L-AMB. Along with histoplasmosis and tuberculosis, zygomycosis should be considered in patients with clinical manifestations of chronic mediastinitis and bronchial perforations. H-C. Liu*, M-S. Jan, Y-C.
