Abstract

Mucormycosis is a rare, rapidly progressive, high-mortality fungal infection caused by fungi of the Mucorales genus. It is usually seen in immunosuppressed individuals and has different clinical forms, including rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, disseminated, gastrointestinal. The clinical presentation varies depending on the organ involved. Mortality increases significantly in children, especially in the presence of hematological malignancy or immunosuppression following stem cell transplantation. Perioperative anesthesia management poses significant challenges in cases with upper airway involvement.

Özet

Mukormikozis, Mucorales türü mantarların neden olduğu nadir, hızlı ilerleyen ve yüksek mortaliteli bir fungal enfeksiyondur. Genellikle immünsüprese bireylerde görülür ve rino-serebral, pulmoner, kutanöz, dissemine ve gastrointestinal olmak üzere farklı klinik formları vardır. Klinik tablo, tutulan organa göre değişiklik gösterir. Çocuklarda, özellikle hematolojik malignitesi veya kök hücre nakli sonrası immünsüpresyon varlığında mortalite belirgin şekilde artar. Üst hava yolu tutulumu olan olgularda perioperatif anestezi yönetimi ciddi zorluklar yaratır.
