“…Finally, localized (nondisseminated) cutaneous mucormycosis treated with aggressive surgical debridement and adjunctive antifungal therapy has a mortality of Ͻ10% (4,73). A similar experience has been described with isolated renal mucormycosis (172).…”

“…These infections occur in patients with disrupted cutaneous barriers, as a result of either traumatic implantation of soil, maceration of skin by a moist surface (5,119), or even via direct access through intravenous catheters or subcutaneous injections (4,73,125). These cases illustrate an alarming trend in the epidemiology of mucormycosis.…”

“…Like the case with C. bertholletiae, percutaneous introduction (152,157,195,248,294,362) is the most common mechanism of cutaneous infections with R. pusillus (157,195,294,362) or Rhizomucor spp. (152,248).…”

“…Postmortem diagnosis of the infection was accomplished in 23% of these cases (83,92,114,173,213,362). Six other cases had a proven diagnosis of Rhizomucor species infection (16,22,32,152,248,281), and two cases were probable R. pusillus infections (82, 225) according to European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria (84). We found four other cases in which the etiology of the Mucormycetes species involved in mucormycosis resulted from the fact that these cases were epidemiologically related to other proven R. pusillus infection cases during nosocomial outbreaks (83,106,120).…”
