zygomycosis - Opis:
- Background: Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection affecting people with impaired immunity. The aim of this study is to shed light on the epidemiology, incidence, and outcome of patients with mucormycosis hospitalized at a tertiary care center in Pondicherry. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review between January 2008 and January 2018. All patients with proven or probable mucormycosis were included. Results: A total of 24 patients were included. Their median age was 49 years and the majority were males. Comorbidities included mainly hematologic malignancy and diabetes mellitus. A liposomal amphotericin B formulation alone or in combination with other antifungals was used as a first line agent in all patients. Conclusion: The incidence of mucormycosis has significantly increased over the past 10 years at our institution, most likely due to increased risk factors.
