Aida Iranpour Department of Internal Medicine, Maryam Dehghani Department of Internal Medicine, Journal Article 2020 12 27 Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare but fatal condition that frequently occurs in immunocompromised patients. Correct diagnosis and rapid start of preferred antifungal treatment need clinical suspicion. Patient’s symptoms may be confluent with other conditions such as bacterial and other fungal infections. We present a case of pulmonary mucormycosis in a patient with end stage renal disease successfully treated with a long course of amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB) and upper lobectomy of the left lung despite of low pulmonary capacity. https://www.tanaffosjournal.ir/article_240880_bfb358a8c2d26c6a62520c53f3939a73.pdf
