Abstract: (1853 Views)
Introduction: Rhino cerebral mucormycosis is a rapidly progressive, invasive fungal infection most commonly seen in diabetic or immunocompromised individuals. It is thought that the infection originates in the nose and spreads to the orbit through the ethmoidal sinuses after the lamina papyrus corrosion then the infection passes from the orbital apex to the cavernous sinus and the brain.
Methods: Given the low prevalence of immunosuppressive infectious diseases, their diagnostic and therapeutic problems, the aim of this study was to evaluate the status of patients with mucormycosis in terms of their causative factors, clinical symptoms at the time of referral and timely diagnosis in their treatment.
Results: This case study is a case report of demographic and clinical, laboratory and radiological findings and treatment modalities of a patient with mucormycosis in a diabetic patient who is expected to receive partial renal transplantation.
Conclusions: The most common predisposing areas for invasive mucormycosis include diabetes mellitus, metabolic acidosis, glucocorticoid use, organ transplantation, anemia, iron overload, A Pulmonary mucormycosis is associated with a very poor prognosis and the best way to diagnose it is biopsy and the best way to deal with the use of less immunosuppressive drugs.
