Zygomycosis of the basal ganglia should be recognized as a syndrome in intravenous drug users associated with a culture-negative cellular CSF, fever, lethargy, and lesions apparent on contrast-enhanced CT scans of the head. The infection is most likely the result of intravenous inoculation of fungal
A 2-year-old girl presented with prolonged fever and progressive dyspnea for 3 weeks. A chest radiograph revealed a left lung infiltrate and associated pleural effusion. Echocardiography revealed a large posterior mediastinal mass extending to the left atrial wall and massive pericardial effusion.
We report a case of pulmonary zygomycosis in an adult male diabetic patient who presented with fever and altered sensorium initially and later developed streaky haemoptysis. Bronchoscopy showed picture of necrotizing pneumonia. Sputum was negative for fungal elements on admission but later bronchial
BACKGROUND
Isolated renal zygomycosis is a life-threatening infection and difficult to diagnose ante mortem due to varied presentations. Most reports in the literature are case reports. We are presenting our experience of 10 patients.
METHODS
Retrospective data of 10 consecutive patients with
A 39-year-old woman received an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from her daughter for secondary myelodysplastic syndrome. On day +12, a cough and fever developed. Chest X-ray and computed tomography demonstrated a consolidation in the left lung. A diagnosis of pulmonary
A young woman with long-standing systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatic fever presented with deteriorating renal function. She had severe gastritis treated with cimetidine and received methylprednisolone when her blood cultures were repeatedly negative. She developed spontaneous bruising and
Zygomycosis is an emerging fungal infection that is associated with high mortality in hematological patients and stem cell transplantation (SCT) recipients. Radiology--computed tomography (CT) imaging in particular--facilitates the detection of lung involvement at an early stage of the infection.
Zygomycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection in immunocompetent patients. Isolated renal involvement by zygomycosis is extremely rare and diagnosed mainly during postmortem study. We report a case of a 22-year-old man with right upper quadrant pain and fever. The CT of the abdomen revealed
Basidiobolus ranarum is an uncommon subcutaneous zygomycosis mostly found in immunocompetent children in tropical countries. Presence of slow growing non-tender, non-inflammatory, subcutaneous swelling that does not spread beyond the subcutaneous tissue are classic clinical features. The authors
A 37-year-old woman with acute lymphoblastic leukemia developed fever and pneumonia during persistent neutropenia after consolidation chemotherapy. Pneumonia was rapidly followed by the formation of abscess in adjacent subcutaneous tissues, muscles and bones. She subsequently developed sudden onset
Acute gastric zygomycosis (mucormycosis) was diagnosed in four 6- to 7-day-old pigs with large venous infarcts in the gastric fundus. Two pigs were from one farm where several dams had developed fever at parturition and most of their litters had died. The other 2 pigs, from separate farms, had
OBJECTIVE
Zygomycosis is a severe angioinvasive infection caused by Zygomycetes. We retrospectively investigated 16 cases of zygomycosis.
METHODS
The data of patients, who had been followed between 2004 and 2010 in 8 tertiary-care teaching hospitals, were reviewed. Demographic characteristics,
We report a case of a 28-year-old man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed rhinocerebral zygomycosis during induction chemotherapy. This life-threatening fungal infection is an infrequent cause of neutropenic fever, and is occasionally found in patients with leukemia and lymphoma, or
Zygomycosis refers to any fungal infection originating from the class Zygomycetes and the order Mucorales. In immunocompromised patients, these fungi produce a relatively rapid, violently destructive, and highly fatal infection. Treatment approaches include both aggressive antifungal pharmacotherapy
