Immunocompromised status is associated with invasive fungal infections including mucormycosis. These infections are challenging to treat and associated with high overall mortality. Here we report a fatal case of invasive mucormycosis in a cirrhotic, diabetic patient. Despite the swift diagnosis and management; the fungal invasion of the right internal carotid artery lead to massive ischemic stroke. Timely diagnosis and management is crucial for management but it seems not always enough and new approaches for treatment must be sought.
免疫功能低下状态与包括毛霉菌病在内的侵袭性真菌感染有关。这些感染治疗具有挑战性，且总体死亡率很高。在此，我们报告一例肝硬化糖尿病患者发生的致命性侵袭性毛霉菌病病例。尽管诊断和治疗迅速，但右侧颈内动脉的真菌侵袭导致了大面积缺血性中风。及时诊断和治疗对于管理至关重要，但似乎并不总是足够的，必须寻求新的治疗方法。
