Abstract

Pulmonary mucormycosis is very rare but has a devastating opportunistic fungal infection in immunocompromised hosts. The infection usually occurs in patients with hematologic malignancy, chronic renal failure, diabetes mellitus, or in solid organ transplant recipients. We experienced a case of pulmonary mucormycosis associated with renal cadeveric allograft recipient who had uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The patient was successfully treated by surgical resection with Amphotericin B therapy.

뮤코르진균증은 비교적 드문 질환으로 면역이 저하된 환자에게 있어서 치명적인 기회감염을 일으킨다. 감염은 주로 혈액암, 만성 신부전, 당뇨 환자나 장기이식을 받은 환자에게 일어난다. 저자들은 조절되지 않은 당뇨를 동반한 신장이식을 받은 환자에서 발생한 폐뮤코르진균증을 암포테리신과 함께 수술적 절제를 통해 성공적으로 치료하였다.
