RESUMO
We describe the clinical course of a patient with invasive polymycotic pneumonia due to Rhizopus arrhizus and Candida albicans. Both organisms were recovered from antemortem sputum cultures, and their clinical significance was confirmed by histologic examination of the lungs at autopsy. Circumstances leading to polymycotic infection are discussed, with special attention given to polymycotic infections involving Zygomycetes.

Fractures of the phalanges of the feet are the most common types of injury to the forefoot. There is, however, little available literature concerning pedal digital fractures. There is a misconception that fractured toes will heal by themselves. In fact, mistreated digital fractures can lead to many painful and serious complications. A review of the classifications, mechanisms of injury, clinical presentation, complications, and various treatments of digital fractures is presented.
