Mucor mycosis is an uncommon fungal infection which has ability to invade blood vessels and can affect different part of the body, the most common and most aggressive form being rhino-cerebro-orbital mucormycosis that occur in immunocompromised patient. We describe a case of rhino-cerebro-orbital mucormycosis in a post vaccinated diabetic patient.
Renal cortical necrosis is ischemic destruction of renal cortex which can be patchy or diffuse caused by significantly reduced arterial perfusion. In addition, direct endothelial injury particularly in setting of sepsis, eclampsia, haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and snake bite may lead to renal ischemia caused by endovascular thrombosis. Progression to end stage renal disease is a rule in diffuse cortical necrosis [1].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
