Pulmonary zygomycosis, a rare fungal infection, affects uncontrolled diabetics. Early diagnosis in non-responsive lung infections is crucial for aggressive treatment in these high-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Mucormycosis is a rare, opportunistic fungal infection.
  • It primarily affects individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, particularly during ketoacidosis.

Observation:

  • Two cases of pulmonary zygomycosis in elderly diabetic women are presented.
  • Histologic examination of endobronchial biopsies revealed characteristic fungal hyphae invasion.

Findings:

  • The cases were diagnosed as pulmonary zygomycosis based on biopsy findings.
  • This diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion in diabetic patients with persistent lung infections.

Implications:

  • Early and aggressive therapeutic intervention is critical for managing this devastating infection.
