Phycomycosis in an apparently normal host

J Singh et al. J Otolaryngol. 1977 Feb.

Abstract

A case presentation of phycomycosis recognized by histology but unproved by cultural methods is presented. The patient was successfully treated with Amphotericin B. Even though specific genus of phycomycosis was not identified, the clinical characteristics and apparently healthy host suggest the possibility of the fungus being of the order of entomophthorales. Classification, pathophysiology, various clinical types, diagnostic aids, and principles of treatment are discussed.
