Abstract |
The patients with hematologic malignancies and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients are at high risk for invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) mainly due to the severe and prolonged neutropenia related to high-dose chemotherapy. Voriconazole prophylaxis is recommended for possible IFDs. Mucormycosis is a fulminant infection, which may occur after voriconazole prophylaxis for invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised hosts. Here, we report mucormycosis after 4 months of voriconazole prophylaxis in a young patient with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hematopoietic stem cell transplant failure and discuss the clinical manifestation, imaging, laboratory findings and therapeutic regimens. Clinician's awareness of this entity and timely diagnosis using conventional and molecular methods are the promising approach for the management of this devastating infection.
