Mucormycosis
Sreeraj Vasudevan.MD.DM
MUCOR MYCOSIS:
Angioinvasive disease caused by
SAPROPHYTIC fungi of the order
Mucorales
Most common species :
• Rhizopus (mc)
• Mucor
• Rhizomucor,
• Cunninghamella
• Apophysomyces
• Saksenaea
• Absidia
14 cases /100000
From where we get the infection?
Sporangiospores: It is everywhere
Route of Infection:
Spore Inhalation
Post Trauma
Iatrogenic
Burns
Diabetics Immunosuppression
Transplant Pre term Neonate
Malnourishment
Pathophysiology
Rapid extension
Who are at risk
• Diabetes-Especially patients with DKA
• Hematological malignancy
• BMT/Solid organ transplant
• Long term immunosuppression
• Pre treatment with Voriconazole
• ??COVID
• CKD [Indian]
• Malnourishment [Indian]
• COPD [Indian]
• Pulmonary TB[Indian]
COVID x Mucormycosis
Two Host Factors
• Hyperglycemia
• Acidosis
GRP78-Increased
expression of
endoplasmic
reticulam
Increase Virulence
Temporary cessation of
transferrin binding of serum Iron
Increased Serum free Iron : Uptake by
Siderophore
Decreased
Neutrophil
Function
Decreased
chemotaxis,
Phagocytosis
Deceased intracellular
killing
Mucorales:
Keto Reductase
Consumption of Ketone
body for energy
Majority of infection in Diabetics occur during DKA
Increased
endothelial GRP78
Rhizopus angio
invasion through
this receptor
COVID x Mucormycosis
• Two peaks:
• During admission with Severe Illness
• Post discharge of Severe illness upto 4 weeks
Spectrum of Infection
• Rhino –Orbital- cerebral
• Pulmonary
• GIT
• Cutaneous
• Disseminated
• Isolated Renal
Rhino Orbital Cerebral Mucormycosis
Para Nasal Sinuses: Onset with nasal stuffiness ,epistaxis and facial
pain,headache
Orbital Extension:proptosis , chemosis and ophthalmoplegia.
Cerebral Extension:confusion,FNDS
• Black necrotic eschar on the nasal turbinates or palate
• Fever
Rhino Orbital Cerebral Mucormycosis
• CT Paranasal Sinuses: Sinusitis,Bone destruction,Orbital extension
• MRI Brain to detect Intracranial extension,Orbital Extension
• Poor Prognosis:
• Focal neurological defect
• Cavernous sinus thrombosis
• Brain invasion
Rhino Orbital Cerebral Mucormycosis
Rhino Orbital Cerebral Mucormycosis
• Complications:
• Neurological Deficit
• Blindness
• Cerebral Thrombosis,Infaction,Stroke
• Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis
• Carotid Artery Thrombosis
• Disfigurement
Pulmonary Mucormycosis
• Fever
• Cough
• Hemoptysis : May be massive
• May be associated with Rhinocerebral mucormycosis
• Often delay in diagnosis
• Surgical debridement often not possible
Pulmonary Mucormycosis
• In Immunocompromised Patients:
Reverse Halo Sign
Halo Sign
Pulmonary Mucormycosis
• In Immunocompetent Patients:
• Radiologically indistinguishable from bacterial consolidation
• LARGE CONSOLIDATION
• MULTIPLE NODULES [>10]
• PULMONARY INFARCTION
• PLEURAL EFFUSION
• ASSOCIATED SINUSITIS
Diagnosis
Biopsy Specimen:1 half :KOH preparation
• Sterile site : KOH preparation & Culture
• Culture:difficult to grow
Hyphae are broad ,> 6 to 16 micrometer
Diagnosis
Second Specimen for HPE
• HPE: Diagnostic
• Need to document
• Broad Aseptate Hyphae
• Tissue Inflammation
• Angioinvasion
• Necrosis
Hyphae are broad ,> 6 to 16 micrometer
PCR
MALDI -TOF
SWAB FROM NASAL/SINUS CAVITY :
NOTDIAGNOSTIC
BAL KOH: NOT DIAGNOSTIC
Treatment of Rhino cerebral mucormycosis

Ophthalmology
Radiology
Maxillofacial
Drug treatment
Team Effort
Medical Management
Initial Therapy
Step:1
• Reduce /Stop Immunosuppression/Steroid
• Tight sugar control
• Control Acidosis
Medical Management
Initial Therapy
Step 2:
• Liposomal Amphotericin B
• 5-10mg/Kg Daily for 3 to 6 week
• Dilute in 5%Dextrose 500ml infusion over 4 to 6 hours
• Monitor Creat,Potassium,Magnesium
• Duration: 3-6weeks
• Problems:
• Need central line
• Refractory Hypokalemia
• Cost :20,000 /day
• Delay in LAMB:Increased Mortality
Alternate to LAMB:
• Conventional AMB
• 1 to 1.5mg/Kg
• Renal dysfunction
• Electrolyte disturbance: Same as LAMB
• Pre /Post Hydration with 500ml NS :Reduce incidence of renal dysfunction
• Allergic reaction:
• Premediaction with Inj.Avil/Tab.Paracetamol reuces the allergic reaction
• Cost =500Rs/Day
If baseline renal dysfunction
• Isavuconazole
• Posaconazole
Post initial Amphotericin
• After 3 to 6 weeks of AMB if radiologically stable disease
• Oral secondary Px with Posacoanzole/Isavuconazole
• Therapeutic drug level monitoring
• Duration 3 to 6 months
Posaconazole suspension also available: Absorption Issue
Cost of therapy : Expected around 15000 to 20000 per 4 weeks
Others
• Iron chelation
• Hyperbaric Oxygen
• Statins:
Mortality
• Even with treatment :Ranges from 60-85%
• Delay in Surgical debridement in ROM more than 6 days: Mortality
increases by 50%.
• Delay in AMB : Mortality increases by 60-70%
• ROCM: Post debridement Debility is concern
• Most loss eye
Cost of treatment :
=10 lakh INR per person
Prophylaxis: Patient side:
Avoid fresh flowers
Prevention of Infection: Environmental
Modification:
AML Induction
Ward/AIIMS
Prevention of Infection: Environmental
Modification:
• Recommendations are for Invasive Aspergillosis
• Air Spore Quantification: Conidial count
• Accepted level in UNPROTECTED room: <25 CFU/mm3
Environmental modification
• Regular monitoring of spore count:especially after construction
• Adequate air circulation
• Maintain air filters
• Avoid moisture;Avoid Water Leak
• Positive Pressure ICU-Not practical
• Laminar flow- Not practical
• Adequate Autoclaving
• Avoid construction activity near ICU
• H2O2 Based sanitisation
• Frequent fumigation
• Oxygen regulator clean and dry: Fill with distilled/RO water
Summary
• Control sugars and acidosis
• Reduce the steroid abuse
• Ask the patients to wear N95 mask
• Keep our ICU dry/fumigated
• Look in to the oropharynx daily
• Follow up patient post discharge
• Early Sx and Medical Treatment: Life Saving
Our small success story
• 48 year old male with AML,CKD
• Developed black lesion in hard palate and right upper alveolus
Just after Sx
30/12/20

Initail Bx was negative.
He was put on LAMB 5mg/kG

Editor's Notes

  1. Rhizopus invades the endothelium via binding of fungal CotH proteins to the host receptor GRP78. Here, we report that surface expression of GRP78 is increased in endothelial cells exposed to physiological concentrations of β-hydroxy butyrate (BHB), glucose, and iron that are similar to those found in DKA patients.
