A case of pneumonia caused by Cunninghamella bertholletiae is described in a patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia. The species of Cunninghamella, a genus in the order Mucorales, are characterized by the formation of conidia on the surface of an inflated conidiophore (vesicle). C. bertholletiae, not C. elegans, is the most appropriate name for this fungus. This zygomycete was resistant by in vitro sensitivity testing to amphotericin B. The source of the infection is not known.

本文描述了一例慢性淋巴细胞白血病患者感染拜氏被孢霉所致肺炎的病例。被孢霉属属于毛霉目，其特征为在膨大的分生孢子梗（囊泡）表面形成分生孢子。对于这种真菌，最合适的名称是拜氏被孢霉，而非秀丽被孢霉。经体外药敏试验，这种接合菌对两性霉素B耐药。感染源不明。
