  • Title: Treatment of cavitary pulmonary zygomycosis with surgical resection and posaconazole.
    Author: Paul S, Marty FM, Colson YL.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2006 Jul; 82(1):338-40. PubMed ID: 16798251.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 57-year-old woman with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who had a cavitary lesion develop in the right upper lobe caused by Cunninghamella bertholletiae, a zygomycete. The infection was resistant to both high-dose liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole. The current report demonstrates successful treatment, even in the setting of subsequent bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppression, using a combination of surgical resection and posaconazole therapy.
