Abstract:
We report the successful outcome of allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and pulmonary zygomycosis diagnosed prior to transplant. The lesion was surgically excised and SCT proceeded with antifungal therapy, granulocyte transfusions and G-CSF support during the period of neutropenia.
