After her recovery during follow-up, she presented with recurrent hematuria, burning of micturition and, occasional lower abdominal discomfort, with unsatisfactory response to oral antibiotics. On imaging evaluation, there was mild right hydronephrosis and hydroureter with urothelial thickening involving the right lower ureter and a filling defect in the urinary bladder close to the vesicoureteric junction seen on excretory phase images. Cystoscopy revealed a whitish friable mass-like lesion that was retrieved, histopathology of which revealed fungal elements, and Rhizopus was isolated in culture. Thus, the diagnosis of urinary bladder fungal ball due to mucormycosis infection of the urinary tract was reached. The patient was asymptomatic after 10 weeks of antifungal treatment. The treating physicians, urologist, and radiologists need to have a high index of suspicion of urinary mucormycosis in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1744137","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]],"date-time":"2022-08-17T23:23:36Z","timestamp":1660778616000},"page":"408-410","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Rare Case of Isolated Vesical Mucormycosis in a Patient with COVID-19 Pneumonitis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7385-642X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mridula Manohar","family":"Muthe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, LTMMC and LTMGH, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sankalp Dilip","family":"Shirsath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pravara Rural Medical College, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raunaklaxmi Dilip","family":"Shirsath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Pravara Rural Medical College, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikrant Prabhakar","family":"Firke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, LTMMC and LTMGH, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"S 01","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S23","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cir866","article-title":"Epidemiology and clinical manifestations of mucormycosis","volume":"54","author":"G Petrikkos","year":"2012","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1093\/labmed\/lmx060","article-title":"A noninvasive Rhizopus infection with a bladder fungal ball in a patient with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus","volume":"49","author":"A MT Barnes","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lab Med"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E118","DOI":"10.5489\/cuaj.1254","article-title":"Fungus ball in the urinary tract: a rare entity","volume":"8","author":"V Praz","year":"2014","journal-title":"Can Urol Assoc J"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref4","first-page":"272","article-title":"An awareness of a possible cause of obstruction due to an ureteric aspergilloma mistaken for stone","volume":"8","author":"P S Nain","year":"2013","journal-title":"Maedica (Bucur)"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6283701","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/6283701","article-title":"An interesting case of a 57-year-old male with an upper gastrointestinal bleeding and obstructive uropathy with bilateral hydronephrosis diagnosed with systemic mucormycosis","volume":"2018","author":"D E Izaguirre-Anariba","year":"2018","journal-title":"Case Rep Infect Dis"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1007\/s11046-010-9329-y","article-title":"Can ascending infection from bladder serve as the portal of entry for primary renal zygomycosis?","volume":"170","author":"K Gupta","year":"2010","journal-title":"Mycopathologia"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0042-1744137.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,28]],"date-time":"2022-09-28T00:15:23Z","timestamp":1664324123000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0042-1744137"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,27]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,9]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0042-1744137","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0971-3026","1998-3808"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0971-3026","type":"print"},{"value":"1998-3808","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]]}}}
