Mucormycosis is a life-threatening fungal disease in patients with hematological malignancies. The diagnosis of pulmonary mucormycosis is particularly challenging. We describe 3 mucormycosis cases with an uncommon presentation in patients whose cavitary lung disease was attributed to well documented bacterial infection, although evolution and reassessment established mucormycosis as the underlying disease.
毛霉菌病是血液恶性肿瘤患者的一种危及生命的真菌感染。肺部毛霉菌病的诊断极具挑战性。我们描述了 3 例毛霉菌病病例，这些患者的空洞性肺部疾病归因于有据可查的细菌感染，但随着病情的发展和重新评估，毛霉菌病被确定为潜在疾病。
