Rhinocerebral phycomycosis is a serious and commonly fatal fungal infection. The causative organism, ordinarily a saprophyte, becomes pathogenic in persons who are made susceptible by coexisting, debilitating disease. We report a well-documented case of rhinocerebral phycomycosis where early diagnosis led to successful treatment, and we discuss important aspects of the clinical evaluation and management of such cases.
鼻脑型毛霉菌病是一种严重且通常致命的真菌感染。致病微生物通常为腐生菌,在因并存的衰弱性疾病而易感染的人群中会致病。我们报告一例有充分记录的鼻脑型毛霉菌病病例,该病例因早期诊断而成功治愈,并且我们讨论了此类病例临床评估和管理的重要方面。
