Abstract:
The authors report the case of 5 1/2 year-old boy with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus revealed during the induction therapy of an acute leukemia of the mixed type, and who presented with an unusual type of pulmonary fungal infection: mucormycosis. It had a favourable outcome with surgical excision preceded and followed by amphotericin B treatment.
