Writing with the perspective of a mentor, friend, and colleague, I am elated to contribute to this commemorative issue of the , which is dedicated to the landmark contributions of Dr. Dimitrios P. Kontoyiannis, who has greatly advanced our understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of mucormycosis. Through his efforts and leadership, the four pillars in the management of mucormycosis have been made much stronger: early diagnosis, the rapid initiation of antifungal therapy, augmentation of the host's defenses, and surgical intervention.
以导师、朋友和同事的视角来写这篇文章，我很高兴能为这本纪念专刊撰稿，该专刊致力于纪念迪米特里奥斯·P·康托扬尼斯博士的里程碑式贡献，他极大地推进了我们对毛霉病流行病学、发病机制、诊断和治疗的理解。通过他的努力和领导，毛霉病管理的四大支柱得到了极大加强：早期诊断、迅速开始抗真菌治疗、增强宿主防御能力以及手术干预。
