Abstract
Neonatal gastrointestinal mucormycosis is a rare, usually fatal, opportunistic fungal infection, which is difficult to diagnose early or preoperatively. Clinically, it may be indistinguishable from the neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis and the diagnosis is usually made on autopsy or histopathology of excised surgical specimen. The treatment should include radical surgical debridement, application of systemic high doses amphotericin B and control of the underlying disease. Herein, we presented a case of neonatal gastrointestinal mucormycosis in a 25 days-old infant. A twenty-five-days-old neonate admitted with the preliminary diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction that was diagnosed as gastrointestinal mucormycosis and was treated with liposomal amphotericin B. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2011;1(1):35-37. doi: 10.5799/ahinjs.02.2011.01.0009

Key words: Amphotericin B, gastrointestinal mucormycosis, neonate
