Delayed graft dysfunction due to invasive Hepatic mucormycosis after Living Donor Liver transplantation
2020
Abstract Mucormycosis is a rare but emerging fungal infection complicating solid organ transplantation (SOT). It is associated with a high mortality rate. We describe an unusual case of hepatic mucormycosis in a Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT) recipient presenting as delayed graft dysfunction, which was successfully treated with combination of liposomal Amphotericin B and oral Posaconazole therapy, without surgical resection. The patient had clinical improvement with normalization of Liver function tests (LFT).
