Opportunistic Fungal Infection by Mucorales in Liver Transplantation: Case Report (ATC 2026) - Jun 17, 2026 - Abstract #Abstract A222; Pres time: Jun 20, 2026; 05:45 PM - 06:45 PM; Location: Exhibit Hall; "Two months later, while on tacrolimus, methylprednisolone, and mycophenolate mofetil, he developed malaise, biliary tinged productive cough, and an 8/10 holocranial headache...Antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and isavuconazole was started, followed by bilobectomy and transdiaphragmatic resection of segment VIII...Risk factors include renal insufficiency, diabetes, and prior voriconazole or caspofungin exposure, whereas calcineurin inhibitors reduce risk up to fourfold... Opportunistic Mucorales infections after solid organ transplantation are uncommon but highly lethal. Early recognition, surgical debridement, and targeted antifungal therapy are essential to improving outcomes. This case highlights the poor prognosis of invasive fungal infections despite appropriate management."
