Gastrointestinal Basidiobolomycosis in a Child: Unusual Fungal Infection Mimicking Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases—A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis (GIB) is unusual, rare, and emerging fungal infection. It is caused by Basidiobolus ranarum. Unlike other fungal infections, B ranarum affects immunocompetent individuals with potentially grave sequelae if unrecognized. GIB is difficult to be diagnosed due to unsp...

description Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis (GIB) is unusual, rare, and emerging fungal infection. It is caused by Basidiobolus ranarum. Unlike other fungal infections, B ranarum affects immunocompetent individuals with potentially grave sequelae if unrecognized. GIB is difficult to be diagnosed due to unspecific clinical presentation. Diagnosis of basidiobolomycosis requires culture of B ranarum from tissue. Optimal management of GIB includes antifungal therapy alongside if necessary early surgery.
