[Rhinobasale mucormycosis (author's transl)].
A case of mucormycosis in a 82-year old woman is reported. In spite of an early diagnosis, a surgical intervention and the antimycotic treatment with Miconazol-Sodium (Daktar [R]) and Amphothericin B "Squibb" (R) could only prolonge the bad prognosis of this infection. The pathogenesis, the typical, in most cases letal fungal infection and its therapy is discussed.
