  • Title: Occurrence of subcutaneous zygomycosis (entomophthoromycosis basidiobolae) caused by Basidiobolus haptosporus with pulmonary involvement.
    Author: Bittencourt AL, Araujo MG, Fontoura MS.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 1980 Jul 31; 71(3):155-8. PubMed ID: 7191054.
    Abstract:
    A case of a two-year-old boy with multiple subcutaneous lesions caused by Basidiobolus haptosporus is presented. The child had also a non-toxic familial goiter and clinical and radiological features of a pulmonary illness. The pulmonary manifestations only disappeared with the treatment with potassium iodide. The authors think that the pulmonary lesions must have arisen by direct spread of the fungus from the subcutaneous lesions of the chest.
