Mucormycosis is a destructive, necrotizing, and potentially fatal fungal disease that usually affects immunocompromised or diabetic patients. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), previously known as Wegener’s granulomatosis is a rare, aseptic necrotizing, granulomatous vasculitis affecting small- to medium-sized vessels, resulting in systemic manifestations. Here, we present a case of a 46-year-old gentleman with overlapping features of mucormycosis and GPA, that was successfully treated with isavuconazole monotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
