Abstract:
Rhizopus oryzae was the causative organism in a fatal case of rhinocerebral and then pulmonary mucormycosis in a patient cured of her underlying leukaemia by bone marrow transplantation. We discuss the risk factors involved and the need for maintaining a high index of suspicion of fungal infection in the late post-transplant period.
