Abstract

Although zygomycosis is a rare opportunistic infection, it is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in immunocompromised patients. A 50-year-old male patient was admitted with complaints of impaired consciousness, difficulty in speaking, headache, lethargy, diarrhea and weight loss. His history revealed that he had lived abroad and consumed alcohol regularly. The diagnosis of chronic alcoholism, AIDS and central nervous system infection were made. The patient died on the seventh day of his hospitalization. His autopsy revealed nonseptated hyphae with right-angled branching in cerebral, pulmonary and cardiac sections, particularly in vascular structures. In the light of these findings systemic zygomycosis was diagnosed.

Özet

Zigomikoz nadir görülen fırsatçı bir infeksiyon olmasına karşın, bağışıklık sisteminin baskılandığı hastalarda önemli bir mortalité ve morbidité nedenidir. Elli yaşında erkek hasta; bilinç değişimi, konuşma güçlüğü, başağrısı, halsizlik, ishal ve kilo kaybı yakınmaları ile hastaneye yatırıldı. Yurt dışında kalma ve sürekli alkol kullanma öyküsü vardı. Hastaya kronik alkolizm, AİDS ve merkezi sinir sistemi infeksiyonu tanıları konuldu. Yatışının yedinci günü kaybedilen hastaya otopsi yapıldı. Yapılan otopsi sonucunda beyin, akciğer ve kalp kesitlerinde özellikle vasküler yapılarda bölmesiz, dik açı ile dallanan hifalar görüldü. Bu bulgularla hastaya post-mortem zigomikoz tanısı kondu.
