"We are what we eat!" Invasive intestinal mucormycosis: A case report and review of the literature.

Marianne Martinello1, Adam Nelson1, Leon Bignold2, David Shaw1.   

Abstract

Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is an uncommon, life-threatening, angioinvasive infection with only one previous report of disease involving the jejunum. We present a case of invasive jejunal mucormycosis and review the literature, highlighting the rare clinical presentation and the value of molecular diagnostic methods. Given the global increase in patient populations at risk of mucormycosis, clinicians need to maintain a high index of suspicion and perform timely and appropriate evaluation to improve patient outcome.
