Mucormycosis in a Patient with Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia in Treatment with Ibrutinib
View through CrossRef
Invasive Fungal Infection (IFI) is a serious complication in patients with hematologic malignancies. We present a case of invasive Mucormycosis in a patient with Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia (CLL). This case of Mucormycosis illustrates invasive fungal infections as a complication to chronic hematologic diseases and adds to other publications that suggest a relationship with novel treatments of CLL such as ibrutinib. Treatment of the IFI was successful without having to stop ibrutinib. We present relevant publications and discuss clinical controversies that arise.
