Abstract:
Fungal infections occur in patients who are severely immunocompromised with profound and prolonged neutropenia. We report a patient of acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed nonspecific abdominal symptoms within two days after the onset of neutropenia in the early induction phase of chemotherapy, which was later found to be due to intestinal mucormycosis and resulted in a fatal outcome.
