Abstract
This report describes two patients with subacute pulmonary mucormycosis who died of pulmonary hemorrhage. Both patients had diabetes mellitus, but neither patient had the typical fulminant illness associated with this infection. The subacute progressive illness seen in these patients is unusual and suggests the need for aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic measures in patients who are at risk for this infection.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
