Mucormycosis comprises infections caused by fungi in the class Zygomycetes (order Mucorales). Clinical infections usually manifest as nasopharyngeal, cutaneous, pulmonary, or disseminated disease. Generally, the infection is found only in immunocompromised hosts. The underlying immunologic defects that are responsible for predisposing different populations of patients to the development of mucormycosis are not well understood. This article retrospectively reviews the experience at the Medical Center of Delaware with this relatively rare fungal infection.
毛霉病是由接合菌纲（毛霉目）真菌引起的感染。临床感染通常表现为鼻咽部、皮肤、肺部或播散性疾病。一般来说，这种感染仅在免疫功能低下的宿主中发现。导致不同患者群体易患毛霉病的潜在免疫缺陷尚不清楚。本文回顾性分析了特拉华医疗中心对这种相对罕见真菌感染的诊治经验。
