Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • The patient had a history of alcoholic hepatopathy for 20 years.
  • Alcoholic liver disease can impair immune function, potentially increasing susceptibility to infections.

Observation:

  • The patient presented with localized swelling on his left leg after exposure to a river.
  • Skin examination revealed signs suggestive of a fungal infection.

Findings:

  • Histological and mycological examinations confirmed cutaneous mucormycosis.
  • Treatment with itraconazole and fluconazole resulted in gradual symptom improvement over four weeks.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering mucormycosis in immunocompromised patients presenting with skin lesions.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate antifungal therapy are crucial for managing cutaneous mucormycosis.
