Two new cases of nasofacial zygomycosis from the state of Pará, Brazil, are reported. Both cases were treated with ketoconazole and the response to the drug was considered to be good; the patients improved rapidly and the nasal obstruction was the first manifestation to disappear. As five cases have been described in recent years from the state of Pará, this form of zygomycosis can no longer be considered as a rare disease in northern Brazil.
报告了巴西帕拉州两例新的鼻面部接合菌病病例。两例均用酮康唑治疗,药物反应良好;患者恢复迅速,鼻塞是首个消失的症状。鉴于近年来帕拉州已描述了五例该病例,这种接合菌病在巴西北部不能再被视为罕见病。
