We report the first case of sino-orbital mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus rhizopodiformis. Therapy consisted of conservative surgical drainage and intravenous amphotericin B. The patient, an insulin-dependent diabetic, survived her infection with minimal residual deformity. This case and a literature review suggest that infection due to R. rhizopodiformis in diabetics might be more amenable to treatment than mucormycosis caused by other species of fungi. Speciation of such fungi would permit the determination of species specific mortality rates, and may be of therapeutic and prognostic value.
我们报告了首例由少根根霉引起的鼻窦眼眶毛霉菌病病例。治疗包括保守性手术引流和静脉注射两性霉素B。该患者为胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者，感染后存活，仅遗留轻微畸形。该病例及文献综述表明，糖尿病患者由少根根霉引起的感染可能比其他真菌种类引起的毛霉菌病更易于治疗。对这类真菌进行菌种鉴定有助于确定特定菌种的死亡率，可能具有治疗和预后价值。
