Mucormycosis of the gut in neonates is rare, difficult to recognize and hence usually fatal. These cases are usually diagnosed initially as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), which leads to a delay in specific treatment. We present a case of neonatal gastrointestinal tract (GIT) mucormycosis in a 2-day-old infant diagnosed following laparotomy and resection for presumptive NEC, together with a review of cases of GIT mucormycosis in newborn babies in the literature.
新生儿肠道毛霉菌病罕见,难以识别,因此通常是致命的。这些病例最初通常被诊断为坏死性小肠结肠炎(NEC),这导致特异性治疗延迟。我们报告一例2日龄婴儿的新生儿胃肠道(GIT)毛霉菌病病例,该病例在因疑似NEC进行剖腹手术和切除术后得以诊断,并对文献中新生儿GIT毛霉菌病病例进行综述。
