Pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) is a rare disease. Literature about the surgical management of PM in India is sparse. Recently, there has been a surge in the number of cases of mucormycosis in association with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, igniting the interest in PM. Hence, we endeavoured to analyse our surgical experience in treating PM prior to the pandemic, in a tertiary care centre, to provide insight into this disease. Data of 10 adult patients with isolated PM, who underwent surgery between the years 2009 and 2020, and maintained in our departmental database, were retrieved and analysed.
肺毛霉菌病(PM)是一种罕见疾病。关于印度PM外科治疗的文献稀少。最近,与2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行相关的毛霉菌病病例数激增,引发了对PM的关注。因此,我们努力分析我们在一家三级医疗中心在大流行之前治疗PM的外科经验,以深入了解这种疾病。检索并分析了2009年至2020年间在我们科室接受手术并保存在科室数据库中的10例孤立性PM成年患者的数据。
