    Hematology patients with rhinoorbital phycomycosis experienced infections from contaminated air-conditioning systems. This study highlights the critical need for environmental control in preventing fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Rhinoorbital phycomycosis is a severe fungal infection.
    • Hematological patients are particularly susceptible to opportunistic infections due to compromised immunity.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of rhinoorbital phycomycosis occurred within two months in a Hematology Unit.
    • A retrospective fourth case was also identified.

    Findings:

    • An epidemiological investigation identified contaminated air-conditioning systems as the source of infection.
    • Phycomycetes and Mucor pusillus were the causative agents identified in the contaminated systems.

    Implications:

    • Contaminated air-conditioning systems pose a significant risk for fungal infections in immunocompromised patients.
