et al. 1984

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A fatal case of mucormycosis in a previously healthy 26‐year‐old woman who developed a progressive necrotizing lesion is presented. Histopathological and mycological studies revealed the presence of a Zygomycete, which after several cultures proved to beSaksenaea vasiformis. No underlying pathological condition was detected. This case might prove to be the first one of fatalSaksenaea vasiformis infection reported in Latin America, and only the 4th one in the world literature. The relevance of mucormycosis in the diagnosis and management of necrotizing cellulitis is stressed.
