Title: CR0401 Fatal mucormycosis: a case in a pediatric oncologic patient
Abstract: Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by fungi in the order Zygomycetes. It primarily occurs in immunocompromised and insulin-dependent patients and frequently involves sinuses, brain, and lungs. Lesions typically appear as extensive areas of necrosis and, if treatment is not promptly established, cerebral involvement occurs. Despite radical surgical debridement of involved areas associated with high doses of amphotericin B, the prognosis is usually poor.
