Mucormycosis is a rare but devastating infection. We present a case of fatal disseminated mucormycosis infection in a renal transplant patient. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and immunosuppression are the major predisposing factors to infection with Mucorales. Mucorales are angioinvasive and can infect any organ system. Lungs are the predominant site of infection in solid organ transplant recip...

background and objectives: the aim of this study was to compare direct microscopic examination with culture and pcr for the diagnosis of mucorales infection in blood and tissue specimens. material and methods: blood samples and tissue specimens were obtained from 28 patients (total 58 samples) with suspected invasive fungal infection and cultured on proper media. direct smear of tissue samples ...

Mucormycoses are serious infections caused by filamentous fungi of the order Mucorales. They occur most often in immunocompromised patients. We report five cases of mucormycosis in patients hospitalized in the Infectious Diseases Department in Sousse - Tunisia between 2000 and 2013. They were 4 males and one female, mean age 60 years. Three patients were diabetic and one patient had acute leuke...

Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. Mucorales are ubiquitous in environment association with decaying organic matter. Here we report case a 68-year old female who presented history ptosis left eye decreased vision, facial pain and loss sensation cheek. She had COVID-19 infection. Magnetic resonances imaging brain revealed intense enhancement opti...

Mucormycosis is a lethal disease caused by Mucorales, which are emerging as human causes that explain the high mortality for this disease. Consequently, research community searching virulence determinants could be repurposed targets to develop new treatments against mucormycosis. Our work explores an RNA interference (RNAi)-based approach find involved in of Mucorales. A transcriptomewide analy...
