This case report brings to light the rare presentation of a total gastric infarction secondary to a rare fungal infection where the overall outcome of the patient depends on timely diagnosis and management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CASE PRESENTATION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An elderly Malay female patient in our institution developed severe sepsis. Radiological investigations revealed an intra abdominal source of sepsis likely secondary to total gastric ischemia. Both the abdominal X-ray and computed tomography scan showed evidence of gastric pneumotosis. She was diagnosed with gastric ischemia and underwent a total gastrectomy. However post surgically she continued to deteriorate and passed away 5 days later.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Recognition of mucormycosis infection is pertinent to commence anti fungal treatment early with timely implementation of subsequent surgical management. Early access to surgery is necessary to improve cure rates in patients with mucormycosis as antifungal treatment alone is usually not adequate for cure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2016.01.018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,22]],"date-time":"2016-01-22T15:05:15Z","timestamp":1453475115000},"page":"114-117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A rare cause of ischemic gut"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Zhen Jin","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claramae","family":"Chia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inese","family":"Busmani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wai Keong","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-31-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mycres.2007.03.004","article-title":"A higher level phylogenetic classification of fungi","volume":"111","author":"Hibbett","year":"2007","journal-title":"Mycol.
