Isolated Cerebral Mucormycosis in Immunocompetent Adults who Inject Drugs: Case Reports and Systematic Review of the Literature.
Abstract
Mucormycosis involves life-threatening rapidly progressive angioinvasion with infiltration across tissue planes, resulting in necrosis and thrombosis, most commonly seen in the setting of immunocompromised states. We describe 2 cases of isolated cerebral mucormycosis in immunocompetent adults and describe this syndrome in detail in the context of a systemic literature review.
