A patient with undiagnosed Ebola (EBO) hemorrhagic fever (EHF) was transferred from Kikwit to a private clinic in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. A diagnosis of EHF was suspected on clinical grounds and was confirmed by detection of EBO virus-specific IgM and IgG in serum of the patient.
A 15 year old girl presented with complaints of prolonged fever and recurrent episodes of hemoptysis. Initial investigation showed pancytopenia and radiological imaging was suggestive of necrotizing pneumonia. Subsequently, mucor was isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, but even on
Importance: Pulmonary mucormycosis is life threatening and carries a poor prognosis. Identification of factors that improve prognosis is urgently necessary.
Objective: To
Spontaneous gastric perforations are usually seen in patients with untreated peptic ulcer disease. Mucormycosis, an uncommon, opportunistic, life-threatening fungal infection, rarely causes gastric perforation in immunocompetent adults. Here, we present a case of young female who was admitted to
OBJECTIVE
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is extremely difficult to treat. Approximately 70% of patients are poorly controlled diabetics, and many of the remainder are immunocompromised as a consequence of cytotoxic drugs, burn injuries, or end-stage renal disease. Despite standard treatment consisting
We report a case of tracheal, laryngeal and pulmonary mucormycosis in a patient receiving immunosuppressive medication for an autoinflammatory fever syndrome. Mucormycosis was confirmed by histopathology from tracheal specimens and molecular evidence of Lichtheimia. A surgical approach was not
We present a case of a 2 year old apparently healthy child who presented with fever and mass on the mitral valve. Excision histopathology of the mass revealed mucormycosis. After 4 months, she had CNS embolisation with recurrence of cardiac lesion when investigations revealed associated T-cell
A 75-year-old woman presented with fever and right temporal, periorbital and facial pain for 7 days. Physical examination revealed an ipsilateral paresis of the superior division of the oculomotor nerve with mild exophthalmos. She also had hyperglycemia. CT scan of the paranasal sinuses showed acute
Mucormycosis is an invasive infection caused by opportunistic fungi. Rhizopus, Lichtheimia, Mucor and Rhizomucor are the most common isolated genera. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis is usually related to traumatic injuries, but immunocompromised cases are associated with underlying conditions such as
BACKGROUND
Rhino-orbital mucormycosis is a difficult disease to treat. We report one case of rhino-orbital mucormycosis, complicated by serous retinal detachment, that responded to aggressive treatment.
METHODS
A 38-year-old man with diabetic ketoacidosis was referred to the emergency department of
OBJECTIVE
Mucormycosis is a rare invasive fungal infection most commonly encountered in the immunocompromised host. We analyzed 51 adult patients treated for mucormycosis between 2003 and 2013 and recorded at a tertiary university hospital in Turkey.
METHODS
We examined the following data for all
This is a report of 7 cases of mucormycosis infections in patients who had undergone transplantation and been admitted in the kidney transplant centre of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran, Iran, from 2002 to 2005. We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records for demographic data, symptoms,
The 15th reported case of isolated renal mucormycosis (infection of the kidney with fungus of the order Mucorales, in the absence of infection elsewhere in the body) is presented. The patient was a 36-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-infected man, actively using iv drugs, who suffered 6 wk of
Pulmonary mucormycosis is an uncommon infection and its endobronchial form is rare. Fever, cough, dyspnoea and hemoptysis are the usual presenting symptoms. Hoarseness of voice, a rare manifestation of endobronchial mucormycosis, has been reported earlier but its exact anatomical basis was unclear.
Introduction: Mucormycosis is an opportunist fungus infection with acute and rapidly progressive nature in the hematologic malignancy patients. This study was done to investigate the prevalence and clinical manifestations of this infection among hematologic malignancies. Methodology:This
