In particular, Absidia Corymbifera and another untyped Mucorales grew on the orbital biopsies of 2 patients with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis while Aspergillus flavus grew on the orbital biopsy of 1 patient with rhino-cerebral and pulmonary aspergillosis; Fusarium subglutinans was isolated from blood cultures of a fourth patient with disseminated fusariosis with cutaneous involvement. A fifth patient had hyphae on a liver biopsy establishing the diagnosis of proven IMI, probable Aspergillosis (no results from cultures were available) with hepatosplenic and pulmonary involvement.
