Ileocolonic mucormycosis in adult immunocompromised patients: a surgeon's perspective.

Comparison of serum PCR assay and histopathology for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis in immunocompromised patients with sinus involvement

Background and Purpose: Invasive fungal infections cause morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies and immunosuppression. Although these infections are commonly caused by Candida and Aspergillus species, infections caused by Mucoralean fungi are also on a growing trend. The definitive diagnosis of mucormycosis includes visualization of non-septate hyphae on patholog...

Combination antifungal therapy without craniotomy in an immunocompromised patient with rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis: A case report

Disseminated Gastrointestinal Mucormycosis in Immunocompromised Disease

Mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection mostly affecting immunocompromised patients and gastrointestinal mucormycosis is a rare and life-threatening. We describe a 31-year-old man with a history of idiopathic cyclic neutropenia who developed perforations of the stomach and intestine and intra-abdominal bleeding due to disseminated gastrointestinal mucormycosis after the initi...

موکورمایکوزیس رینوسربرال: گزارش 6 مورد در گرگان

Mucormycosis is a progressive and invasive fungal infection that commonly affects structures in the head and neck, such as sinuses, orbits, and the brain. This infection occurs in immunocompromised patients and is rarely seen in healthy individuals. Correct diagnosis of the disease is often difficult and its mortality rate is 30% -69%. In this study, the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment method...

Spontaneous pneumothorax followed by reversed halo sign in immunocompromised patient with pulmonary mucormycosis

Mucormycosis, an invasive fungus with a variety of clinical presentation, is a devastating infection in immunocompromised host. Here an unusual case of pulmonary mucormycosis is introduced in an immunodeficient patient in which pneumothorax was followed by reversed halo sign (RHS). The clinicians, who visit immunocompromised persons with pneumothorax, should be considerate to take immediate ima...
