  • Title: Cure of disseminated zygomycosis with cerebral involvement using high dose liposomal amphotericin B and surgery.
    Author: Revankar SG, Hasan MS, Smith JW.
    Journal: Med Mycol; 2007 Mar; 45(2):183-5. PubMed ID: 17365655.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of cerebral zygomycosis that did not respond to standard treatment with amphotericin B or amphotericin B lipid complex. The patient was eventually cured through a combination of surgery and the use of high dose liposomal amphotericin B. Since penetration of the central nervous system by amphotericin B is poor the application of high dose therapy may be useful in cases of cerebral zygomycosis.
