Invasive fungal infections can cause considerable morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Zygomycosis is a type of invasive fungal infection with a rapid course and grave prognosis. Renal transplant recipients with concomitant diabetes mellitus are most susceptible to this infection. We report here a case of disseminated zygomycosis (Rhizopus sp.) in a renal allograft recipient with posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). This is the first reported case of zygomycosis caused by Rhizopus species.
侵袭性真菌感染可导致免疫功能低下患者出现相当高的发病率和死亡率。接合菌病是一种侵袭性真菌感染，病程进展迅速且预后严重。合并糖尿病的肾移植受者最易感染此病。我们在此报告一例肾移植受者发生播散性根霉属接合菌病（Rhizopus sp.）的病例，该受者患有移植后糖尿病（PTDM）。这是首例有根霉属引起的接合菌病报告病例。
