| description | A case of cellulitis of the left lateral side of the face caused by the
zygomycete Apophysomyces elegans in a healthy male following a road
traffic accident is reported. The contaminated soil was the source of
fungus. Broad aseptate fungal hyphae were seen in the necrosed tissues.
Extensive tissue debridement and treatment with amphotericin B were not
successful in controlling the rapid invasion of the tissues by the
fungus. Patient developed angioinvasion, severe cellulitis and finally
succumbed to the infection three weeks after admission. |
