Case Rep Infect Dis. 2018 Sep 2:2018:5864175. doi: 10.1155/2018/5864175. eCollection 2018.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is a rare life-threatening infection to which neutropenic patients are especially vulnerable. Mycotypha microspora is a mucormycete that has not been described as a human pathogen. We discuss the successful eradication of gastrointestinal Mycotypha microspora in a neutropenic patient with simultaneous pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus infection.
