Abstract
A previously healthy youth who sustained severe head trauma and received steroids and broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents developed a cranial zygomycotic infection with S. vasiformis. This is the 1st time this zygomycete is implicated as a disease agent. Early identification of the fungal infection and subsequent vigorous medical and surgical therapy led to recovery.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
