ABSTRACT
We report a fatal case of disseminated zygomycosis due to Cunninghamella bertholletiae in a 68-year-old man with myelodysplasia and type II diabetes mellitus, receiving desferrioxamine therapy for iron overload secondary to multiple transfusions. It is thought that he acquired the infection through the use of blood glucose self-monitoring equipment.
