Cunninghamella bertholletiae, an uncommon cause of human fungal infection, has been reported with increasing frequency in recent years in Western countries. We report a case of acute myelogenous leukemia terminated by an uncommon complication of zygomycosis caused by C. bertholletiae, which seems to be the first human case reported in Japan. In this case, the fungus disseminated many organs, including the thyroid gland.
柏氏小克银汉霉是人类真菌感染的罕见病因，近年来在西方国家的报道频率有所增加。我们报告了一例急性髓性白血病，其因柏氏小克银汉霉引起的罕见毛霉菌病并发症而死亡，这似乎是日本报道的首例人类病例。在该病例中，真菌扩散至包括甲状腺在内的多个器官。
