RESUMO
A healthcare provider unknowingly treated a patient with mpox and subsequently developed ocular mpox without rash. She breastfed during illness; her infant was not infected. This report addresses 3 challenges in mpox management and control: diagnosis in the absence of rash, exposures in healthcare settings, and management of lactating patients.
RESUMO
We report 4 cases of invasive zygomycosis in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, all occurring after May 2003, when voriconazole began to be used as antifungal prophylaxis. No cases of zygomycosis had been detected in this population in the 3 years prior to May 2003. All 4 patients were receiving immunosuppressive therapy for presumed graft-versus-host disease. Profoundly immunosuppressed patients receiving voriconazole prophylaxis remain at risk for less-common pathogens that are intrinsically resistant to this agent.
