First reported case of late recurrence of pulmonary mucormycosis in a renal transplant recipient with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus

Abstract Pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) is a rare, life‐threatening fungal infection usually affecting immunocompromised patients. Its incidence is rising, with a recent outbreak associated with COVID‐19 co‐infection. Amphotericin B along with early surgery are considered the standard treatment. Recurr...
