AB New data on mucormycosis (zygomycosis), relevant to the clinician, are
analysed. Several clinical associations of this fungal infection have
recently emerged: the association with therapy with the metal chelator
desferrioxamine (mainly in dialysis patients), the rarity of
mucormycosis in AIDS patients and its sporadic occurrence after bone
marrow transplantation. New imaging techniques should be used serially
in the case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in order to evaluate the
extent of the lesions and to guide potential surgery. Surgical
debridement significantly improves the prognosis of rhinocerebral
mucormycosis. Finally, results of the use of liposomal amphotericin B in
a few patients with rhinocerebral mucormycosis are reviewed.
