We analyzed the clinical records of eight patients from a single center in whom zygomycosis due to\n            <jats:italic>A. elegans<\/jats:italic>\n            was diagnosed over a span of 25 months. We also attempted a DNA-based method for rapid identification of the fungi and looked for interstrain polymorphism using microsattelite primers. Three patients had cutaneous and subcutaneous infections, three had isolated renal involvement, one had rhino-orbital tissue infection, and the final patient had a disseminated infection involving the spleen and kidney. Underlying illnesses were found in two patients, one with diabetes mellitus and the other with chronic alcoholism. A history of traumatic implantation was available for three patients. All except two of the patients responded to surgical and\/or medical therapy; the diagnosis for the two exceptions was made at the terminal stage of infection.
