mucormycosis is a serious fungal infection caused by the filamentous fungi of the mucorales order of the class of zygomycetes. mucormycosis is classically defined as an opportunistic fatal infection. in this report we explain a 49 years old woman with palato-orbital tract as a sequel of rhino cerebral mucormycosis and end stage renal disease candidate for kidney transplantation. difficulties in...

The proportion of patients with hematological malignancies (HM) who develop rare invasive fungal infections (IFI) has increased worldwide over the past few decades. Zygomycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which begins in the nose and paranasal sinuses due to inhalation of fungal spores. Rhino-cerebral zygomycosis is the most common form of the disease, it typically develops in diabeti...

Rhino-orbitocerebral mucormycosis is the most common form of central nervous system (CNS) infection with mucormycosis. It is a rare but life-threatening infection. Isolated cerebral infection with mucormycosis without any rhino-orbital focus is extremely rare. Isolated cerebral mucormycosis is common in intravenous (IV) drug abusers and immunocompromised patients. Diabetes, long-term steroid us...

Hormographiella aspergillata is a rare causative agent of invasive filamentous breakthrough infection, mostly arising after echinocandin exposure. We report a neutropenic patient who developed a severe sino-orbito-cerebral H. aspergillata infection while receiving empirical caspofungin, successfully controlled by an aggressive strategy associating surgical debridement and combined high-dose reg...

We document the first case of haematogenous cerebral spread in Rhizopus arrhizus rhino-orbital mucormycosis, and of posaconazole related adrenal insufficiency. A patient presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis and sinusitis was treated with right medial maxillectomy, ethmoidectomy and IV liposomal amphotericin. Orbital exenteration was performed after intraorbital spread of infection. IV caspofun...

Rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection with high morbidity and mortality which has seen the rise during second wave of covid 19 in our country. Aim study was to clinical course, diagnosis management patient rhino post phase presenting at tertiary care centre. 4 cases rhino-orbital who presented us followed details recorded analyzed its management. patients sign...
