The Authors report a case history of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a patient with chronic lymphatic leukaemia and recommend that therapy be based on three different approaches: treatment for the underlying disease, systematic antifungal treatment with Amphotericine B, and surgical asportation of diseased tissue. They affirm that results may be surprisingly successful, even in cases with signs of orbital-cerebral involvement which are indicative of a poor prognosis and the concomitant presence of a serous disease such as leukaemia.

Abstract
The Authors report a case history of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a patient with chronic lymphatic leukaemia and recommend that therapy be based on three different approaches: treatment for the underlying disease, systematic antifungal treatment with Amphotericine B, and surgical asportation of diseased tissue. They affirm that results may be surprisingly successful, even in cases with signs of orbital-cerebral involvement which are indicative of a poor prognosis and the concomitant presence of a serous disease such as leukaemia.File in questo prodotto:
