“…La característica de presentación más común es un dolor abdominal vago, a veces asociado con diarrea o estreñimiento. (Mohammed et al, 2020), pueden recibir un diagnóstico erróneo de masa apendicular, tuberculosis intestinal o malignidad (Arabi et al, 2019). El diagnóstico de basidiobolomicosis no es fácil porque los signos clínicos e histopatológicos no apuntan directamente a una infección fúngica y especialmente en los trópicos donde puede simular una infección por Mycobacterium ulcerans (Darré et al, 2018).…”

Objetivo :Dar a conocer uno una presentación atípica de una infección granulomatosa causada por hongos entomoftorales, Presentación del caso : Paciente masculino de 18 años proveniente de zona rural, estudiante, que consulta por aumento progresivo del volumen del cuello asociada a secreción purulenta autolimitada, se encontró a nivel de región maxilar derecha tumoración de gran tamaño bien definida, con superficie lisa y adherida a planos profundos, no dolorosa. Mediante histopatología, dado hallazgo de hifas fúngicas septadas dentro de las células gigantes reacción conocida como fenómeno de Splendore – Hoeppli, se llega al diagnóstico de basidiobolomicosis.. Conclusiones: Se debe sospechar basidiobolomicosis en pacientes procedentes de zonas tropicales con nódulo subcutáneo unilateral, indoloro, pruriginoso, firme con extensión y agrandamiento periférico gradual en zonas expuestas del cuerpo, predominantemente niños y adolescentes. El tratamiento será con yoduro de potasio, azoles o anfotericina B.

“…It belongs to the Zygomycetes class, which includes 2 fungal orders: Mucorales and Entomophthorales. The Mucorales include Mucor species and Entomophthorales include B. ranarum, which infect immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals, respectively [7] , [8] , [9] . Most reported cases come from arid regions of the world, including Arizona in the United States, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait [7] .…”

Fungal diseases are associated with high morbidity and mortality, yet their epidemiology and burden are not well addressed. While deaths probably exceed 1.5 million per year, many cases remain undiagnosed and underreported. Estimating the burden of these diseases is needed for prioritization and implementation of effective control programs. Here we used a model based on population at risk to estimate the burden of serious fungal infections in Sudan. The prevalence of the susceptible population including HIV, TB, cancer, asthma, and COPD was obtained from the literature. Incidence and prevalence of fungal infections were calculated using local data when applicable and if not available then regional or international figures were used. In total, the estimated number of Sudanese suffering from fungal disease is 5 M (10% of the total population). Tinea capitis, recurrent vulvovaginitis and keratitis are estimated to affect 4,127,760, 631,261, and 6,552 patients, respectively. HIV-related mycosis is estimated to affect 5,945 oral candidiasis, 1,921 esophageal candidiasis, 571 Pneumocystis pneumonia, and 462 cryptococcal meningitis cases. Aspergillus infections are estimated as follow: 3,438 invasive aspergillosis, 14,950 chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, 67,860 allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis cases, while the prevalence of severe asthma with fungal sensitization and fungal rhinosinusitis was 86,860 and 93,600 cases, respectively. The neglected tropical disease eumycetoma was estimated to affect 16,837 cases with a rate of 36/100,000. Serious fungal infections are quite common in Sudan and require urgent attention to improve diagnosis, promote treatment, and develop surveillance programs.
