Rhinofacial Zygomycosis Caused by Conidiobolus coronatus: A Case Report Including in Vitro Sensitivity to Antimycotic Agents

A case of zygomycosis caused by Conidiobolus coronatus, occurring in a 31-year-old priest from the Ivory Coast, is reported. Lesions eventually resolved after 21/2 years, during which the patient was variously treated with intravenous amphotericin B and miconazole as well as surgical resection. It is difficult to be certain which, if any, of these treatments contributed to resolution of lesions. A report of in vitro sensitivity data to a variety of antifungal agents is included.

Accepted for publication October 6, 1986.
