We describe a case of a successfull treatment of pulmonary mucormycosis in 11-year-child with a very severe aplastic anemia. The diagnosis of invasive mycosis has been proved according to EORTC 2008 criteria. Computed tomography showed bilobar right-sided pulmonary infiltration. Lichtheimia corymbifera cultured from BAL. The child achieved complete clinical, laboratory and instrumental response on long-term amphotericin B lipid-formulated therapy combined with posaconazole. |
