Case Report: Extremely elevated ascitic fluid amylase as a diagnostic clue for peritoneal mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus microsporus following exertional heatstroke. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne)) - Sep 18, 2026 - "The patient received liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) plus isavuconazole; subsequent detection of Candida tropicalis superinfection prompted a switch to caspofungin while continuing L-AmB. Combination antifungal therapy achieved cure despite contraindications to surgery. Heatstroke is an important but under-recognized risk factor for disseminated mucormycosis."
