Treatment of mucor infection after liver or pancreas–kidney transplantation

MUCORMYCOSIS is a rare and opportunistic infection most commonly caused by Rhizopus, Rhizomucor, and Cunninghamella species. This infection is usually associated with hematologic disease, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, organ transplantation, and solid tumors. We only found eight reported cases of mucor infection after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), but none after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT). The aim of this study is to present our five cases of mucor infection mucormycosis after OLT or SPKT.
