Sino Ocular Zygomycosis Caused by Syncephalastrum recemosum in a Diabetic Patient
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Invasive sinooccular Zygomycosis is a fulminant opportunistic disease often affecting poorly controlled diabetics of all agescommonly caused by genera Rhizopus, Mucor and Rhizomucor. Syncephalastrum racemosum belongs to Zygomycetes group of fungi known to cause skin & soft tissue infections but invasive infections were rarely reported. We report a sino ocular infection caused by Syncephalastrum racemosum in a 58 year diabetic woman clinically diagnosed as left sided rhinosinusitis with involvement of orbit. Treatment with surgical debridement, antifungal therapy with Amphotericin B along with correction of underlying metabolic acidosis and glycemic control saved the patient.
