Transplantation Proceedings
|December 10, 2016
Abstract:
Mucormycosis is a rare lethal complication of organ transplantation that progresses rapidly, and the prognosis is dismal if diagnosed late. We present a surviving liver transplant recipient in whom severe rhino-orbita-maxillary mucormycosis developed 1 month after liver transplantation. Prompt diagnosis with tissue biopsy, local control of the underlying condition with aggressive surgical debridement, and appropriate administration of systemic antifungal therapies are essential to improve prognosis and survival.
