A case report of the metagenomics next-generation sequencing for early detection of central nervous system mucormycosis with successful rescue in patient with recurrent chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) mucormycosis is insidious and difficult to diagnose. It progresses rapidly and causes high mortality. Rare cases have been reported during ibrutinib use, which have poor prognosis. Through this case, we share the experience of successful diagnosis and treatment. We also emphasize the importance of focusing on high-risk groups, early diagnosis and prompt management.
