Title: | Haemophagocytic syndrome associated with mucormycosis infection | Authors: | Arena V. De-Giorgio F. Pennacchia I. Manna R. Vetrugno G. Stigliano E. Milić, Nataša Gasbarrini G. Abenavoli L. |
Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2012 | Journal: | International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology | Abstract: | Several clinical forms of mucormycosis are recognized. The tendency of mucoraceous zygomycetes to invade the blood vessels often produces a disseminated infection. A case of a disseminated mucormycosis complicated by a haemophagocytic syndrome (HS) in a 32-year-old Caucasian male is reported in this article. Few cases of infection-associated HS (IAHS), involving infections caused by fungi, have been reported. In all the recorded cases, the fungal infection coexists with malignant lymphoma, immunodeficiency and a long-term steroid therapy for renal transplant or Crohn's disease. This is the second described case of the HS due to mucormycosis.
