ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of mucormycosis in patients with renal failure. Methods We reported a 65-year old case of mucormycosis with chronic renal failure. The patient was successfully treated with amphotericin B. Mucormycosis complicated with renal failure were reviewed excluding mucormycosis peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis and desferrioxamine-related mucormycosis. Results Fifteen cases including our case were involved with mean age of 49.87?15.84 years old. Rhinocerebral,pulmonary,and disseminated forms accounted for 46.7%,33.3% and 20% respectively. Autopsy was made in 46.7% of patients. Mortality was 73.3% in all of them and 42.9% in seven patients who received antifungal therapy. All patients without treatments died. Conclusion Mucormycosis is a lethal invasive infection in patients with renal failure. The management to improve prognosis are early diagnosis,surgical debridement,drainage and aggressive antifungal chemo-therapy.
