Multiple discharging sinuses: An unusual presentation caused by <i>Absidia corymbifera </i>
A case of zygomycosis presenting with non-healing multiple discharging sinuses in a diabetic patient is reported here. The debrided tissue on histopathological examination revealed dense infiltration with aseptate fungal hyphae. Potassium hydroxide mount showed hyaline aseptate hyphae suggestive of zygomycosis. On culture, <i> Absidia corymbifera</i> was isolated. The patient responded to surgical debridement and therapy with amphotericin B followed by itraconazole
Fatal cellulitis caused by Apophysomyces elegans
A case of cellulitis of the left lateral side of the face caused by the
zygomycete Apophysomyces elegans in a healthy male following a road
traffic accident is reported. The contaminated soil was the source of
fungus. Broad aseptate fungal hyphae were seen in the necrosed tissues.
Extensive tissue debridement and treatment with amphotericin B were not
successful in controlling the rapid invasion of the tissues by the
fungus. Patient developed angioinvasion, severe cellulitis and finally
succumbed to the infection three weeks after admission
