Isolated cerebral mucormycosis associated with intravenous drug use
2020
Abstract We present an uncommon case of isolated basal ganglia mucormycosis in a patient without any known cause of immunosuppression, but with a history of drug injection. The patient presented a good clinical and radiological response to antifungal treatment without aggressive surgical debridement (liposomal amphotericin B combined with isavuconazole for 4 weeks followed by isavuconazole as maintenance therapy for 10 months).
