Mucormycosis는 Mucorales에 의해 유발되는 진균 감염으로, 다양한 장기를 침범할 수 있으며 그중에서도 폐점균증은 드물지만 특히 면역 저하 환자에서 생명을 위협하는 기회 감염이다. 폐점균증의 영상 소견은 다양하지만, 폐점액진균증 환자에서 점점 커지는 폐동맥색전증을 모방하는 경우는 드물게 보고되었다. 저자들은 골수이형성 증후군 환자에서 종괴와 폐색전증을 모방한 혈관 침습성 점막 진균증의 증례에 대해 보고하고자 한다.

폐모균증은 치명적인 결과를 초래하는 기회감염으로 조기진단 및 치료가 요망된다. 하지만 본 증례와 같이 폐모균증의 방사선학적 소견은 비특이적이므로 조기 진단이 용이하지 않다. 이에 저자들은 폐모균종의 발생 위험인자를 내포한 환자가 항생제에 반응을 보이지 않으면서 방사선 소견상 폐의 경화, 종괴, 결절, 공동 등의 소견을 보이는 경우 폐모균증올 고려함이 필요하다고 생각되어 문헌고찰과 함께 본 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

Mucormycosis is a rare fungal disease that holds a fatal opportunistic fungal infection in diabetes mellitus, hematological malignancy, and immunocompromised host. Isolated pulmonary mucormycosis is extremely rare. Optimal therapy is a combined medical-surgical approach and a management of the patient's underlying disease. Herein, we report a case-study of isolated pulmonary mucormycosis which was being presented as multiple lung nodules in a patient with no underlying risk factors. Considering that the patient had poor pulmonary functions, we treated him with only antifungal agent rather than a combined medical-surgical approach. After treatment with antifungal agent for six months, the nodules of pulmonary mucormycosis were improved with the prominent reductions of size on the computed tomography.

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.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is an uncommon, but important opportunistic fungal infection associated with diabetes mellitus, leukemia, lymphoma and other immunocompromised states. Mucor species grow best in acidic-high glucose medium. which explaining the particular susceptibility of diabetic patient who are ketoacidic. Early consideration of this diagnosis, along with aggressive diagnostic evaluation, is critical to effective therapy and patient survival. We have experienced a case of pulmonary murcomycosis mimicking bilateral pulmonary edema on chest Xray that associated with diabetic ketoacidosis. A brief review of the literature was given.

Mucormycosis is the common name given to several different diseases caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. The mucoraceae are ubiquitous fungi and are common inhabitants of decaying matter. In contrast to the widespread distribution of these fungi, disease in humans is limited, in most cases, to people with severe immunocompromised, diabetes mellitus, or trauma. 1be fungus gains entry to the body through the respiratory tract. The spores are presumably deposited in the nasal turbinates and may be inhaled into the pulmonary alveoli. The manifestations of mucormycosis are rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, and miscellaneous. Sporadic reports can be found of mucormycosis involving other areas : heart, bones, kidney, bladder, mediastinum, and trachea. However, isolated tracheal mucormycosis is very rare. Therefore, we report a 57-year old, noninsulin dependent diabetic woman who presented with acute, severe degree of upper airway obstruction due to isolated mucormycosis of the trachea.

기관지 모균증은 드문 질환으로 돌출된 종괴로 발현된 경우는 특히 드물다. 저자들은 당뇨환자에서 종괴형태로 발현되어 우측 주기관지를 폐색시키는 기관지 모균증을 발견하였다. 경직성 기관지술로 모군 종괴를 제거하여 임상적으로 호전시킨 후 적극적으로 전신적 Amphotereicin B 투여와 폐절제술을 동반하여 완치한 1예를 경험하여 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Mucormycosis is a rare but fatal fungal infection with low survival rate in immune-compromised patients. It is caused by a fungus belonging to the Mucoraceae family of the Zygomycetes class. Mucormycosis is classified as rhino-orbital-cerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, disseminated, and miscellaneous types according to its clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis and treatment along with correction of the underlying medical condition is important for favorable results. This case presentation describes mucormycosis involving the anterior maxillary region in a leukemic patient with prolonged neutropenia. The patient benefited from a timely biopsy and immediate treatment with amphotericin B, and was successfully managed with an interdisciplinary team approach consisting of dental and several medical specialists.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection associated with diabetis mellitus, leukemia, lymphoma & other debilitating diseases. Their clinical presentations depend on the associated underlying disorders. Generally patients with leukemia and lymphoma often have rapidly progressive clinical course, and may cause diffuse parenchymal disease refractory to medical and surgical therapies. However, some diabetics with pulmonary mucormycosis have a striking tendency to develop a localized endobronchial disease in major airway which is amenable to therapy with surgery and Amphotericin B. We have experienced a case of endobronchial mucormycosis complicating lung abscess associated with diabetic ketoacidosis, which was cured without specific antifungal therapy or surgery. A brief review of the literature was given.
