Abstract

Blood and lung tissue cultures gave negative results but the serum 1,3-β-D-glucan assay was positive. The direct microscopy of the lesion and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for mucormycosis in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue were negative. Four weeks later, chest CT scan revealed great improvement and the skin ulcer healed with crusts on it [Figure 1D].
