Transection of the Right Intermediate Bronchus Caused by Rhizopus arrhizus: A Case Report. (PubMed, Infect Drug Resist) - Aug 23, 2026 - "Despite 2 months of aggressive antifungal therapy (liposomal amphotericin B combined with isavuconazole), the patient's dyspnea worsened, and repeat bronchoscopy subsequently confirmed complete transection of the intermediate bronchus, which had not been detected initially. Right intermediate bronchial transection caused by Rhizopus arrhizus is a rare but fatal complication. Early diagnosis via mNGS, combined antifungal therapy, and urgent surgical resection are beneficial for patients with severe pulmonary mucormycosis infection."
