摘要

摘要毛霉病是一种罕见的机会性真菌感染，常见于免疫功能低下者或未控制的糖尿病患者。在2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间，成人毛霉病的发病率急剧上升。然而，这种感染在儿科人群中极为罕见，在covid -19感染后发生这种感染的病例很少。我们提出了一个6岁的免疫功能正常的女孩的脑毛霉菌病的情况下，组织病理证实立体定向脑活检。无症状COVID-19感染后发生真菌感染。本报告描述了诊断过程和管理。它突出了在我们的情况下脑毛霉菌病的不寻常的表现和泊沙康唑在成功治疗中的作用。

Coronavirus Disease 2019-Associated Cerebral Mucormycosis in an Immunocompetent Child

Abstract Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection observed in immunocompromised individuals or in those with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been a steep increase in the incidence of mucormycosis among adults. However, the infection is extremely rare in the pediatric population, and its occurrence post-COVID-19 infection has been reported in very few cases. We present a case of cerebral mucormycosis in a 6-year-old immunocompetent girl that was histopathologically confirmed by stereotactic brain biopsy. The fungal infection occurred following asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. This report describes the diagnostic journey and management. It highlights the unusual presentation of cerebral mucormycosis in our case and the role of posaconazole in the successful treatment.
