Abstract

Zygomycosis is a rare fungal disease that occurs in compromised human hosts, including the preterm infant. The three clinical forms of zygomycosis are cellulitis, disseminated, and gastrointestinal, and the last often mimics necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), complicating the diagnosis. This report details a case of primary gastrointestinal zygomycosis due to Absidia corymbifera, mimicking NEC, in a preterm infant, and emphasizes features that may lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of future cases.

摘要

接合菌病是一种罕见的真菌病，发生于包括早产儿在内的免疫功能低下的人类宿主。接合菌病的三种临床形式为蜂窝织炎型、播散型和胃肠道型，其中胃肠道型常酷似坏死性小肠结肠炎（NEC），使诊断复杂化。本报告详细介绍了一例由伞枝犁头霉引起的原发性胃肠道接合菌病病例，该病例发生在一名早产儿身上，酷似NEC，并强调了可能有助于早期诊断和治疗未来病例的特征。
