摘要：

We describe the clinical course and successful treatment of a previously healthy man who, after experiencing trauma, presented with severe cutaneous mucormycosis due to Apophysomyces elegans and subsequently developed secondary renal infection. A multidisciplinary approach employing aggressive surgical debridement and therapy with hyperbaric oxygen, liposomal amphotericin B, and interferon-gamma was successful in controlling his infection, obviating the need for nephrectomy.
