Mediastinal Mucormycosis: Case Report, Review of Literature, and Treatment with Continuous Liposomal Amphotericin B Irrigation
2019
: Mediastinal mucormycosis is an uncommon but lethal infection associated with an 83% mortality. We describe a case of fatal Rhizopus microsporus mediastinitis despite three exploratory mediastinal surgeries and complementary systemic and mediastinal irrigation with liposomal amphotericin B. We further review the literature on surgical and antifungal management of mediastinal mucormycosis.
