白黴菌病為一種急性且致死率極高的黴菌感染。在此提出-71歲糖尿病患者,同時有鼻腔、副鼻竇及中耳腔之白黴菌感染,並無一般常見的眼部或顱內之侵犯,其電腦斷層表現和一般急性乳突炎並無差別。雖經Amphotericin B及廓創術治療,患者仍因敗血症而死亡。
Mucormycosis is an acute and fatal fungus infection. It mostly occurs in diabetic or immunocompromised patients. The rhinocerebral type is the most common type of mucormycosis.
