| Summary: | Writing with the perspective of a mentor, friend, and colleague, I am elated to contribute to this commemorative issue of the <i>Journal of Fungi</i>, which is dedicated to the landmark contributions of Dr. Dimitrios P. Kontoyiannis, who has greatly advanced our understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of mucormycosis. Through his efforts and leadership, the four pillars in the management of mucormycosis have been made much stronger: early diagnosis, the rapid initiation of antifungal therapy, augmentation of the host’s defenses, and surgical intervention. |
