We report a case of pulmonary mucormycosis in a patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The diagnosis of mucormycosis was initially based on mycological examination of a pulmonary specimen. However, we describe how it could have been made 2 months earlier using polymerase chain reaction assays targeting Mucorales species on serum specimens.

血清标本中的毛霉菌DNA检测可早期诊断毛霉菌病。

我们报告了一例T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病患者的肺毛霉菌病。毛霉菌病的诊断最初是基于肺标本的真菌学检查。但是，我们描述了如何使用针对血清样本上的毛Mu属的聚合酶链反应测定法，可以在2个月前完成该方法。
