  • Title: Nasofacial phycomycosis: persistence pays.
    Author: Moore MH, Murphy D, James C.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2007 Mar; 18(2):448-50. PubMed ID: 17414301.
    Abstract:
    Nasofacial phycomycosis caused by Conidiobolus is a rare fungal infection most often encountered in the developing world in conditions of poverty. A clinical presentation of the natural history of this condition observed over a period of 6 years by a visiting volunteer surgical team demonstrates the role of multimodality surgical and antifungal drug treatment in producing a successful outcome. The particular sensitivity of this infection to the new generation antifungal Voriconazole is noted.
