Successful treatment of sinusitis caused by Cunninghamella bertholletiae
Clin Infect Dis.
1994 Aug.
Abstract
Seventeen cases of infections due to Cunninghamella species have been reported worldwide in humans, and there have been only three survivors. We report a case of paranasal sinusitis due to Cunninghamella bertholletiae in an elderly patient who had diabetes mellitus and myelodysplasia. After receiving 7 weeks of therapy with deoxycholate amphotericin B (44 mg/kg or a total of 3 g) and rifampin, the patient was cured and did not have to undergo radical surgery.
