Treatment of Mucormycosis with Liposomal Amphotericin B, Posaconazole and Deferasirox: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, we present a 69 years old diabetic patient with mucormycosis who was succesfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB), posaconazole and deferasirox despite having no adequate surgery. There was no relapse on 6 month post-treatment follow-up. We conclude that combination of antifungal antibiotics with deferasirox may be successful in the salvage therapy of mucormycosis especially in diabetic patients.
