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.
