Coexistence of Mucormycosis and Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Abstract

Mucormycosis is a destructive, necrotizing, and potentially fatal fungal disease that usually affects immunocompromised or diabetic patients. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), previously known as Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare, aseptic necrotizing, granulomatous vasculitis affecting small- to medium-sized vessels, resulting in systemic manifestations. Here, we present a case of a 46-year-old gentleman with overlapping features of mucormycosis and GPA, that was successfully treated with isavuconazole monotherapy.
