What Researchers Did
The researchers presented a case report of rhinocerebral mycosis in an immunocompromised patient and reviewed the relevant medical literature.
What They Found
They found that early diagnosis, based on histological examination and CT scans, is crucial for rhinocerebral mycosis in immunocompromised patients. Prompt systemic treatment with amphotericin B and aggressive surgical debridement are recommended, while prophylactic intranasal amphotericin B may also be beneficial.
