Nonsurgical Cure of Pulmonary Mucormycosis

Pulmonary mucormycosis is an unusual infection which appears to occur with increased frequency in diabetics. We report the development of pulmonary mucormycosis in an adult onset diabetic which resolved with medical therapy alone. Computerized tomography proved useful in assessing his response to therapy.

An Unusual Case of Pulmonary Mucormycosis

Transplantation Proceedings, 2018
Invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplant recipients are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Of these fungal infections, mucormycosis presents as an aggressive, frequently fatal angioinvasive infection. Immunocompromised hosts and diabetes are important risk factors. These infections are frequently difficult to diagnose.
