[Disseminated mucormycosis in a hemodialyzed female patient treated with deferoxamine].
A case is presented of a patient affected of chronic renal failure caused by multiple myeloma who was under a chelating treatment with Depreroxamine as a consequence of iron intoxication and suffered a disseminated mucormycosis. We performed a literature search of previous cases and discuss the probable relation between this opportunistic infection and depheroxamine treatment.
