Overview

Case report explores invasive tracheal mucormycosis and its severe airway management implications in diabetes.

Key Points

  • This report aims to describe a case of invasive tracheal mucormycosis and its management challenges. It emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and treatment intervention in at-risk patients.
  • Case report of a patient with invasive tracheal mucormycosis and diabetic ketosis.
  • Emergency tracheostomy followed by systemic antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and isavuconazole.
  • Bronchoscopic examination and repeated interventions to manage necrotic airway lesions.
  • Infection controlled after antifungal treatment; however, patient developed irreversible glottic closure and severe subglottic stenosis.
  • Long-term tracheostomy dependence resulted due to structural airway damage despite infection resolution.
  • Emphasis on early diagnosis and simultaneous initiation of appropriate therapies to improve clinical outcomes.
