An adult male patient had a productive cough for more than 10\u2009days, aggravated by blood in the sputum for 9\u2009days. Laboratory examination confirmed that he had had type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketosis for more than 3\u2009years, and his chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed lesions, cavities, and a small effusion in the right lower lobe. The lavage fluid was taken by bronchoscope for bacterial culture and mNGS, which indicated <jats:italic>Rhizopus azygosporus<\/jats:italic> growth. Mucormycosis was diagnosed. The patient was given amphotericin B cholesterol sulfate complex for 30\u2009days, and his renal function was closely monitored. After that, his right lower lobe was resected. To date, the patient has recovered well.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2023.1240436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,6]],"date-time":"2023-10-06T14:51:46Z","timestamp":1696603906000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Case report: A case of pulmonary mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus azygosporus infection complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Lu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanqing","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanmei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"435","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idc.2021.03.009","article-title":"Mucormycosis","volume":"35","author":"Steinbrink","year":"2021","journal-title":"Infect Dis Clin N Am"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1186\/s12879-017-2381-1","article-title":"Mucormycosis in renal transplant recipients: review of 174 reported cases","volume":"17","author":"Song","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMC Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1080\/13693780500464930","article-title":"The rising trend of invasive zygomycosis in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus","volume":"44","author":"Chakrabarti","year":"2006","journal-title":"Med Mycol"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0b013e31816673b1","article-title":"Primary cutaneous zygomycosis in a burns patient: a review","volume":"29","author":"Ledgard","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Burn Care Res"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1395","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1509.090334","article-title":"Increasing incidence of zygomycosis (Mucormycosis), France, 1997-2006","volume":"15","author":"Bitar","year":"2009","journal-title":"Emerg Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e101","DOI":"10.1086\/521245","article-title":"The value of computed tomography-guided percutaneous lung biopsy for diagnosis of invasive fungal infection in immunocompromised patients","volume":"45","author":"Lass-Florl","year":"2007","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"106","DOI":"10.3390\/jof5040106","article-title":"Updates on the taxonomy of mucorales with an emphasis on clinically important taxa","volume":"5","author":"Walther","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
