Mucorales (subphylum Mucoromycotina) are well-known agents of invasive mucormycosis, whereas Entomophthorales (subphylum Entomophthoromycotina) are rarely encountered in human diseases in temperate zones. Here we report a fatal case of invasive rhino-orbitocerebral entomophthoramycosis caused by Conidiobolus incongruus in a 78-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndrome.
毛霉目(Mucoromycotina 亚门)是侵袭性毛霉病的知名病原体,而在温带地区,昆虫霉目(Entomophthoromycotina 亚门)在人类疾病中很少见。在此,我们报告了一例由变异康氏瓶霉引起的侵袭性鼻眶脑型昆虫霉病致死病例,患者为一名 78 岁女性,患有骨髓增生异常综合征。
