Pulmonary mucormycosis in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis: a case report and review of literature

Mukormikoz genellikle immünsüpresif hastalarda görülen nadir bir fırsatçı fungal infeksiyondur. Mukormikozun, altta yatan veya predispozan duruma bağlı olarak değişen çok sayıda başvuru şekli bulunur. Biz, diyabetik ketoasidoz ve pulmoner ve rinoserebral mukormikozlu 56 yaşında bir olgu sunuyoruz.

Diyabetik ketasidozlu hastalarda pulmoner mukormikoz: Olgu sunumu ve literatür derlemesi

Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic devastating fungal infection, which usually occurs in immunocompromised patients. Mucormycosis has multiple presentations that the predilection for one of these presentations varies with the either underlying or predisposing condition. We present a case of pulmonary and rhinocerberal mucormycosis in 56-year-old man with diabetic ketoacidosis.
