Abstract:
We present the first case of cutaneous mucormycosis reported in a patient who had undergone a heart transplant operation. This appeared to be a localized infection without a predisposing local factor such as a surgical adhesive and without evidence of dissemination. Prompt treatment with intravenous amphotericin B resulted in an apparent cure.
