Abstract

The combination of resection of infected tissue and antifungal therapy is the treatment of choice in mucormycosis. In disseminated mucormycosis, where surgery is impossible, the mortality is almost 90%. We report the first case of disseminated mucormycosis that was cured with a combination therapy of liposomal amphotericin B and posaconazole without surgical intervention.
