Case report shows rare disseminated fungal infection in an immunosuppressed host, indicating significant health risks.
Mucormycosis is an angioinvasive fungal infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. It predominantly affects individuals with impaired host defenses, such as those with uncontrolled diabetes, hematological malignancies, or under immunosuppression after organ transplantation. Disseminated mucormycosis with genitourinary involvement is exceedingly rare. This report describes an unusual presentation of disseminated mucormycosis post-lung transplant with extensive renal and bladder involvement requiring bilateral nephrectomy.
