Laryngeal stridor and myocardial infarction in a renal transplant recipient.

A living-unrelated renal transplant recipient presented with a history of fever with chills and rigors for 3 days. Clinically, the cause of the fever could not be localized. During a hospital stay of 72 hours, the patient developed sore throat, laryngeal stridor and acute myocardial infarction. A post-mortem revealed disseminated mucormycosis involving the larynx, heart, intestines, brain and the transplanted kidney.
