520 | |a Background Recently, deaths due to mucormycosis in immunocompromised hosts have increased; however, the clinical and pathological features of mucormycosis are not fully understood, especially in view of the associated high mortality and rare incidence in immunocompetent patients. Case presentation We have described a rare autopsy case of a 67-year-old Japanese man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who contracted mucormycosis. He had not been on any immunosuppressants, and his immune functions were intact. Since 3 days prior to admission to our hospital, he had experienced progressive dyspnea, productive cough, and fever. Chest computed tomography revealed pleural effusion in the left lower hemithorax and consolidation in the right lung field. Although he was administered with tazobactam-piperacillin hydrate (13.5 g/day), renal dysfunction occurred on the ninth disease day. Therefore, it was switched to cefepime (2 g/day). However, his general condition and lung-field abnormality worsened gradually. Cytological analysis of the sputum sample at admission mainly revealed sporangiophores and unicellular sporangioles, while repeated sputum culture yielded Cunninghamella species. Therefore, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucormycosis. Liposomal amphotericin B (5 mg/kg/day) was initiated on the $ 28^{th} $ disease day. However, chest radiography and electrocardiography detected cardiomegaly and atrial fibrillation, respectively, and he died on the $ 37^{th} $ disease day. A postmortem examination revealed clusters of fungal hyphae within the arteries of the right pulmonary cavity wall, the subpericardial artery, intramyocardial capillary blood vessels, and the esophageal subserosa vein. Direct sequencing revealed that all fungal culture samples were positive for Cunninghamella bertholletiae. Conclusions Cunninghamella bertholletiae could rapidly progress from colonizing the bronchi to infecting the surrounding organs via vascular invasion even in immunocompetent patients. | ||

Case presentation We have described a rare autopsy case of a 67-year-old Japanese man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who contracted mucormycosis. He had not been on any immunosuppressants, and his immune functions were intact. Since 3 days prior to admission to our hospital, he had experienced progressive dyspnea, productive cough, and fever. Chest computed tomography revealed pleural effusion in the left lower hemithorax and consolidation in the right lung field. Although he was administered with tazobactam-piperacillin hydrate (13.5 g/day), renal dysfunction occurred on the ninth disease day. Therefore, it was switched to cefepime (2 g/day). However, his general condition and lung-field abnormality worsened gradually. Cytological analysis of the sputum sample at admission mainly revealed sporangiophores and unicellular sporangioles, while repeated sputum culture yielded Cunninghamella species. Therefore, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucormycosis. Liposomal amphotericin B (5 mg/kg/day) was initiated on the $ 28^{th} $ disease day. However, chest radiography and electrocardiography detected cardiomegaly and atrial fibrillation, respectively, and he died on the $ 37^{th} $ disease day. A postmortem examination revealed clusters of fungal hyphae within the arteries of the right pulmonary cavity wall, the subpericardial artery, intramyocardial capillary blood vessels, and the esophageal subserosa vein. Direct sequencing revealed that all fungal culture samples were positive for Cunninghamella bertholletiae. Conclusions Cunninghamella bertholletiae could rapidly progress from colonizing the bronchi to infecting the surrounding organs via vascular invasion even in immunocompetent patients.

abstract |
Background Recently, deaths due to mucormycosis in immunocompromised hosts have increased; however, the clinical and pathological features of mucormycosis are not fully understood, especially in view of the associated high mortality and rare incidence in immunocompetent patients. Case presentation We have described a rare autopsy case of a 67-year-old Japanese man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who contracted mucormycosis. He had not been on any immunosuppressants, and his immune functions were intact. Since 3 days prior to admission to our hospital, he had experienced progressive dyspnea, productive cough, and fever. Chest computed tomography revealed pleural effusion in the left lower hemithorax and consolidation in the right lung field. Although he was administered with tazobactam-piperacillin hydrate (13.5 g/day), renal dysfunction occurred on the ninth disease day. Therefore, it was switched to cefepime (2 g/day). However, his general condition and lung-field abnormality worsened gradually. Cytological analysis of the sputum sample at admission mainly revealed sporangiophores and unicellular sporangioles, while repeated sputum culture yielded Cunninghamella species. Therefore, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucormycosis. Liposomal amphotericin B (5 mg/kg/day) was initiated on the $ 28^{th} $ disease day. However, chest radiography and electrocardiography detected cardiomegaly and atrial fibrillation, respectively, and he died on the $ 37^{th} $ disease day. A postmortem examination revealed clusters of fungal hyphae within the arteries of the right pulmonary cavity wall, the subpericardial artery, intramyocardial capillary blood vessels, and the esophageal subserosa vein. Direct sequencing revealed that all fungal culture samples were positive for Cunninghamella bertholletiae. Conclusions Cunninghamella bertholletiae could rapidly progress from colonizing the bronchi to infecting the surrounding organs via vascular invasion even in immunocompetent patients. © The Author(s) 2023 |

However, his general condition and lung-field abnormality worsened gradually. Cytological analysis of the sputum sample at admission mainly revealed sporangiophores and unicellular sporangioles, while repeated sputum culture yielded Cunninghamella species. Therefore, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucormycosis. Liposomal amphotericin B (5 mg/kg/day) was initiated on the $ 28^{th} $ disease day. However, chest radiography and electrocardiography detected cardiomegaly and atrial fibrillation, respectively, and he died on the $ 37^{th} $ disease day. A postmortem examination revealed clusters of fungal hyphae within the arteries of the right pulmonary cavity wall, the subpericardial artery, intramyocardial capillary blood vessels, and the esophageal subserosa vein. Direct sequencing revealed that all fungal culture samples were positive for Cunninghamella bertholletiae.

Background Recently, deaths due to mucormycosis in immunocompromised hosts have increased; however, the clinical and pathological features of mucormycosis are not fully understood, especially in view of the associated high mortality and rare incidence in immunocompetent patients. Case presentation We have described a rare autopsy case of a 67-year-old Japanese man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who contracted mucormycosis. He had not been on any immunosuppressants, and his immune functions were intact. Since 3 days prior to admission to our hospital, he had experienced progressive dyspnea, productive cough, and fever. Chest computed tomography revealed pleural effusion in the left lower hemithorax and consolidation in the right lung field. Although he was administered with tazobactam-piperacillin hydrate (13.5 g/day), renal dysfunction occurred on the ninth disease day. Therefore, it was switched to cefepime (2 g/day). However, his general condition and lung-field abnormality worsened gradually. Cytological analysis of the sputum sample at admission mainly revealed sporangiophores and unicellular sporangioles, while repeated sputum culture yielded Cunninghamella species. Therefore, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucormycosis. Liposomal amphotericin B (5 mg/kg/day) was initiated on the $ 28^{th} $ disease day. However, chest radiography and electrocardiography detected cardiomegaly and atrial fibrillation, respectively, and he died on the $ 37^{th} $ disease day. A postmortem examination revealed clusters of fungal hyphae within the arteries of the right pulmonary cavity wall, the subpericardial artery, intramyocardial capillary blood vessels, and the esophageal subserosa vein.
