Rhizopus lung abscess in renal transplant patient successfully treated by lobectomy

AR Gribetz, MT Chuang, L Burrows and AS Teirstein

A 46-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and cadaveric kidney transplant, maintained on a regimen of prednisone and azathioprine, developed a necrotizing pneumonia. The abscess cavity became secondarily infected with Rhizopus and was cured by surgical resection. Secondary invasion of an abscess cavity by Rhizopus and the successful surgical treatment of pulmonary phycomycosis in an immunosuppressed patient have not previously been reported.
