Introduction: Mucormycosis is an acute onset, invasive, fungal infection, characterized by organ involvement, and caused by Mucor, Rhizopus, or Absidia. Our aim was to present a case of mucormycotic infection and emphasize its importance in a diabetic immunosuppressed patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Case Presentation: A 68-year-old hypertensive and diabetic male patient with a diagnosis of AML developed respiratory failure and exhibited diffuse bilateral consolidation in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).
Objectives: The original STONE score was designed to predict the presence of uncomplicated renal colic and the corresponding absence of alternate serious etiologies. It was retrospectively derived and prospectively validated and resulted in five variables: Sex (male gender), Timing (acute onset of pain), "Origin" (non-Black race), Nausea/vomiting (present), and Erythrocytes (microscopic hematuria). With recent increased awareness of the potential adverse impacts of including race (a socially constructed identity) in clinical prediction rules, we sought to determine if a revised STONE score without race could be constructed with similar diagnostic accuracy.
