OBJECTIVE To report a case of isolated renal mucormycosis in a previously healthy man, and to briefly review the literature relating to this rare condition. CLINICAL FEATURES An 18-year-old man presented with a two-month history of fevers followed by two weeks of severe left loin pain. Initial treatment with antibiotics failed and abdominal computed tomography and renal perfusion scans were r...
INTRODUCTION Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection typically affecting immunocompromised hosts. One form of the disease affects the gastrointestinal tract. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present the case of a 70-year old patient with no recognized risk factors that developed gastrointestinal mucormycosis after urgent abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. DISCUSSION There are several risk factors for...
Maxillary necrosis can occur due to bacterial infections such as osteomyelitis, viral infections, such as herpes zoster or fungal infections, such as mucormycosis, aspergillosis etc. Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which mainly infects immunocompromised patients. Once the maxilla is involved, surgical resection and debridement of the necrosed areas can result in extensive max...
Pulmonary mucormycosis is an emergent and life-threatening invasive fungal infection underdiagnosed by clinicians due to unspecific clinical picture and lack of awareness. Although the acknowledgment of risk factors, clinical and radiological findings may increase early recognition, the definite diagnosis is challenging to establish and the ideal treatment has never been delineated. The authors...
Recent reports describe increasing incidence of non-Aspergillus mold infections in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. To investigate the epidemiology of infections with Mucorales, Fusarium spp., and Scedosporium spp. molds, we analyzed data from the Transplant-Associated Infection Surveillance Network, 23 transplant centers that conducted prospectiv...
introduction rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis is a progressive angioinvasive fungal disorder which almost always complicates immunocompromised patients. case presentation we described a case of fulminant rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in a 65-year-old woman, who presented with progressive neurological deficits due to involvement of orbital apex and the central nervous system by local inva...
Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection in renal transplant recipients which is associated with exceedingly high mortality when inadequately treated. Risk factors for this infection include diabetes, neutropaenia and immunosuppression. We report a case of pulmonary mucormycosis in a renal allograft recipient with type 2 diabetes and limited pulmonary reserve. The patient was succe...
Mucormycosis is a rare and life-threatening fungal infection of the Mucorales order occurring mainly in immunosuppressed patients. The most common forms are rhinocerebral but pulmonary or disseminated forms may occur. We report the case of a 61-year-old patient in whom pulmonary mucormycosis was diagnosed during his first-ever episode of diabetic ketoacidosis. While receiving liposomal amphoter...
Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by opportunistic fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota, subphylum Mucormycotina. In developed countries, it affects patients with haematological malignancies undergoing chemotherapy and those who have received allogenic stem cell transplants, while in developing countries seen uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Herein, we report case cutaneous mucormycosis 67y...
Mucormycosis is an invasive mould infection, which is associated with haematological malignancies and is often fatal. The keys for successful treatment are focus on early diagnosis, surgical debridement when possible and appropriate administration of appropriate antifungal agents. We report a case of disseminated mucormycosis in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia diagnosed and identified by...
