ABSTRACT
A hemodialysis patient with pulmonary and cerebral mucormycosis is reported. Recently the occurrence of this infection in dialysis patients has been associated with desferrioxamine (DFO) treatment. A causal relation seems likely, but has not been proved. Several pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed, in particular the influence of DFO on host neutrophil defenses through a decreased oxygen radical production.
