Abstract

Rhodococcus equi is a rare human opportunistic pathogen that has been increasingly reported in recent decades. It mainly affects immunosuppressed patients, and in particular human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, where it typically presents as cavitary pneumonia. Early treatment with combined and effective antimicrobials and antiretroviral therapy after prompt diagnosis is essential to ensure an optimal outcome. We present a case series of three human Rhodococcus equi infections in HIV-infected patients with advanced immune suppression, treated at the University Hospital of Antwerp, Belgium., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2024 J.

Abstract

Mucormycosis is a rare, emerging angioinvasive infection caused by ubiquitous filamentous fungi. In recent decades, an increase in cutaneous or post-traumatic mucormycosis has been reported. We describe two cases of post-traumatic wound infections with Mucor circinelloides , a mucor species only rarely reported as a cause of post-traumatic mucormycosis. Often considered lethal, management required a combination of medical and surgical therapies to achieve a favorable outcome in both cases., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2022 A.
