Pulmonary Actinomycosis and Mucormycosis Coinfection in a Patient With Philadelphia Chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Undergoing Chemotherapy.

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic and progressive infection, while actinomycosis usually grows gradually and rarely develops in immunocompromised patients. Here we report a patient with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed a pulmonary actinomycosis and mucormycosis coinfection. Once the diagnosis of actinomycosis was confirmed by bronchoscopy, lobectomy performed before stem cell transplantation revealed mucormycosis.
