Medical Mycology, 1986This report describes two patients with subacute pulmonary mucormycosis who died of pulmonary hemorrhage. Both patients had diabetes mellitus, but neither patient had the typical fulminant illness associated with this infection. The subacute progressive illness seen in these patients is unusual and suggests the need for aggressive diagnostic and ...

Clinical Spectrum of Pulmonary Mucormycosis
Chest, 1986Pulmonary mucormycosis is an uncommon, but important, opportunistic fungal pneumonia which is often diagnosed post-mortem. This review emphasizes clinical and pathologic characteristics of pulmonary mucormycosis that differentiate this infection from other fungal pneumonias.

Nonsurgical Cure of Pulmonary Mucormycosis
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1984Pulmonary 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.

Early Pneumonectomy for Pulmonary Mucormycosis
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2015Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by a rare pathogen most commonly affecting immunocompromised hosts. Successful treatment of pulmonary mucormycosis requires rapid diagnosis, reversal of predisposing factors, aggressive surgical excision, and antifungal therapy.

Pulmonary Mucormycosis and Juvenile Diabetes
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1981Phycomycetes, three genera of fungi with nonseptate hyphae, are found worldwide in soil, dung, and decaying vegetable matter. 1 Mucoraceae may be identified when there are variably wide hyphae with sharp, irregular, right-angled branching. Mucormycosis, especially the rhinocerebral form, often is associated with diabetes mellitus, 2 usually when the ...

Pulmonary Mucormycosis: Empiricism backfires
Respiratory Medicine Extra, 2007Summary A 35-year-old male was hospitalized with hypoxemic respiratory failure and newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia. After initial improvement with chemotherapy and broad spectrum antibiotics, including antifungal therapy with voriconazole, a new right upper lobe pulmonary 1.6 cm nodule was discovered during workup for persistent fever ...
