Disseminated Gastrointestinal Basidiobolomycosis (GIB) in an infant from Western India

Basidiobolomycosis is an infection due to the fungus Basidiobolus ranarum, an environmental saprophyte found worldwide. We are reporting youngest case of Gastrointestinal Basidiobolomycosis (GIB) in a two month old boy from India. He presented with a mass in right iliac fossa with the signs of intes...

description Basidiobolomycosis is an infection due to the fungus Basidiobolus ranarum, an environmental saprophyte found worldwide. We are reporting youngest case of Gastrointestinal Basidiobolomycosis (GIB) in a two month old boy from India. He presented with a mass in right iliac fossa with the signs of intestinal obstruction. Histopathology of the lesion showed broad aseptate hyphae. It disseminated to kidneys. Aspirate culture from nephrostomy yielded growth of B. ranarum. It is important to differentiate it from mucormycosis to institute right therapy. Culture remains the gold standard for its diagnosis.
