Abstract

A case of systemic zygomycosis caused by Apophysomyces elegans in a 56-year-old man is described. The left kidney and the bladder showed presence of broad, nonseptate-to-infrequently septate hyphae in both the bladder lesion and in the septic kidney. Surgical debridement and treatment with amphotericin B cured the infection. No underlying immune defect was ever demonstrated, and the patient was not hyperglycemic or acidotic at any time. This zygomycetous fungus closely resembles Absidia corymbifera, but is distinguished by its distinctive morphological features.

摘要

描述了一例由雅致犁头霉引起的56岁男性系统性接合菌病病例。左肾和膀胱在膀胱病变及败血性肾中均显示有粗大、无隔至偶尔有隔的菌丝。手术清创及两性霉素B治疗使感染治愈。未发现潜在的免疫缺陷，患者在任何时候均无高血糖或酸中毒。这种接合菌纲真菌与伞枝犁头霉非常相似，但通过其独特的形态特征可加以区分。
