Local administration of amphotericin B by VAC instillation: Therapeutic aid in the treatment of mucormycosis

We report the case of a 37-year-old female patient with no previous medical history who developed a disseminated mucormycosis, with an estimated 25 % loss of skin substance and major decay of the chest wall. In addition to standard treatment, local instillations of amphotericin B using the VAC Veraflow® system were performed. We believe that local instillations of amphotericin B by VAC could improve the functional prognosis of patients with skin involvement.PMID:37596143 | DOI:10.1016/j.anplas.2023.07.011
