Genera of the order Mucorales (Rhizopus, Mucor, Rhizomucor, Absidia, Apophysomyces, Cunninghamella, and Saksenaea) cause an angioinvasive infection called zygomycosis. Mortality rates can approach 100% depending on the patient's underlying disease and form of zygomycosis. We report here on the unusual case of a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia and zygomycosis unresponsive to monotherapy with liposomal amphotericin B, who responded favorably following the addition of the echinocandin caspofungin acetate.
