Abstract

Zygomycosis is a rapidly progressive and generally fatal oppurtunistic infection. In this article, rhino-orbito-cerebral and pulmonary forms of zygomycosis together caused by Rhizopus oryzae was reported in a 55-year old diabetic female patient after dental extraction. Although amphotericin B treatment was started after first mycological confirmation on the fifth day of hospitalization, patient died within ten hours of therapy. Diagnosis was proved by mycological and postmortem histopathological investigation. This case was interesting because it showed that rapidly progressive and fatal zygomycosis might follow odontological procedures in patients with underlying diseases like Diabetes mellitus.

Özet

Zigomikoz hızlı seyirli ve genellikle fatal sonlanan fırsatçı bir fungal infeksiyondur. Bu yazıda, 55 yaşındaki kadın hastada diş çekimini izleyerek gelişen Rhizopus oryzae'nin neden olduğu rino-orbito-serebral ve pulmoner formların birlikte görüldüğü bir zigomikoz rapor edildi. Hastaneye yatırılışının beşinci gününde ilk mikolojik laboratuvar verilerine göre amfoterisin B tedavisine başlanan hasta, tedavinin başlangıcını izleyen onuncu saatte kaybedildi. Tanı mikolojik ve postmortem histopatolojik incelemeler ile doğrulandı. Olgu özellikle diyabet gibi alta yatan hastalığı bulunanlarda odontolojik girişimlerden sonra hızlı ve fatal seyirli zigomikoz formlarının ortaya çıkabileceği göstermesi bakımından ilginç bulundu.
