    Author: Mousavi MR, Pouladfar G, Taherifard E, Badiee P, Anbardar MH.
    Journal: J Trop Pediatr; 2021 Jul 02; 67(3):. PubMed ID: 32734302.
    Abstract:
    Basidiobolomycosis is a fungal infection caused mainly by Basidiobolus ranarum, a filamentous fungus of the order Entomophthorales and the family Basidiobolaceae. This infection typically involves the skin and soft tissue; however, visceral organ involvement has also been reported. Here, we report a case of gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis in a young child who presented with acute bloody diarrhea which was initially misdiagnosed as intussusception.
