Zygomycosis is rare but highly invasive fungal infection, with high mortality rate. A 67 years old diabetic man was presented with rhino-ocular form of the disease. Fungal elements invaded the skin and subutaneous facial tissue, with involvement of the nose, paranasal sinuses and orbit. The portal
Rhinocerebral zygomycosis is a rare but dangerous fungal infection that affects primarily diabetic patients in ketoacidosis but other debilitated patients as well. A high index of suspicion among primary care physicians will lead to earlier diagnosis and help reduce the severe morbidity and
Zygomycosis is a rapidly-progressive invasive fungal disease with high mortality rates. Mucor, Rhizopus, Rhizomucor and Absidia species classified in Mucorales order, are the main causative agents of zygomycosis. Uncontrolled diabetes, hematologic malignancies, long term corticosteroid use and
Zygomycosis refers to diseases caused by filamentous fungi from the class Zygomycetes. These organisms are ubiquitous in nature and can be found in soil as well as in decaying organic matter such as fruit and bread. Risk factors for zygomycosis include uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, hematologic
BACKGROUND
Mucormycosis (zygomycosis) is a rare, aggressive, invasive fungal infection that usually afflicts immunosuppressed patients. Indolent presentations are rare, especially in the setting of immune suppression.
METHODS
Case report and review of the pertinent English-language
Mucormycosis (zygomycosis) is a rare opportunistic fungal infection mainly affecting patients with diabetes mellitus, immunodeficiency, malignancies and solid organ transplant. We present a 55-year-old female with a mucormycosis infection primarily affecting the paranasal sinuses after liver
Mucormycsois, also known as zygomycosis, is an extremely serious acute invasive fungal infection(IFI). The disease progresses rapidly and the mortality rate is high. Even if cured, it may leave behind serious sequelae. Immunocompromise is at high risk of mucormycosis. Rhino-orbital-cerebral
Posaconazale is a new triazole drug being investigated in phase III clinical trials for the treatment and prevention of invasive fungal infections. In-vitro and in-vivo studies showed that posaconazole has broad-spectrum activity against most Candida species, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the published clinical data on posaconazole, critically review the New Drug Application data submitted to the Food and Drug Administration, and provide information critical for evaluation and formulary positioning.
METHODS
Reported investigations were identified from MEDLINE
Intracranial fungal granuloma (IFG) remains an uncommon entity. The authors report a single-institute study of 90 cases of IFG, which is the largest study until now.In this retrospective study, all cases of IFG surgically treated in the years 2001-2018 were The objective of this study was to determine the clinicopathologic findings of invasive and non-invasive fungal rhinosinusitis and to compare the features of the two diseases. The medical records of patients with invasive and noninvasive fungal rhinosinusitis at Ramathibodi Hospital between July
We describe a rhinofacial entomophthoramycosis case in a sexagenarian (65 years old) housewife. She was immunocompetent and resident of Burkina Faso. She consulted both the service of dermatology and the service of stomatology of the Teaching Hospital of Bobo-Dioulasso in February 2016 for a diffuse
BACKGROUND
Mucormycosis (or zygomycosis) is the term for infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. Mucoraceae may produce severe disease in susceptible individuals, notably patients with diabetes and leukemia. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis most commonly manifests itself in the setting of poorly
Rhino-orbital-cerebral zygomycosis is a potentially lethal, opportunistic, fungal infection with protean manifestations, rapid progression, unpredictable course and high mortality. It is associated with angioinvasion and infarction, usually observed in diabetic ketoacidosis, immuno-compromised
Invasive fungal sinusitis should be suspected in immunocompromised or diabetic patients who present with acute sinusitis, inflammation of nasal septal mucosa, unexplained fever or cough, or the orbital apex syndrome. Histopathological studies are required to differentiate among these syndromes.
