Mucormycosis is a rare infection which is largely diagnosed in immune-compromised patients. The infection can cause pulmonary, rhinocerebral, skin and soft tissue, central nervous system, gastrointestinal and disseminated disease, with gastrointestinal involvement being the rarest presentation. Outcome and mortality of zygomycosis varies with the underlying condition and site of infection, it is however very high in general. Diagnosis is usually delayed and delay in initiation of amphotericin B treatment leads to poor outcome. We report rare case of a malnourished young adult who presented with gastric perforation peritonitis due to mucormycosis infection.

Aspergillosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that may develop in immunocompromised patients with conditions such as leukemia or aplastic anemia. A rare case of stomach perforation following acute fungal gastritis in a 13-year-old female patient with aplastic anemia is reported herein. The patient had developed aplastic anemia without bone marrow fibrosis secondary to acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chemotherapy. The pathological examination revealed a large ischemic transmural perforation (9.5 × 9 cm) associated with fungal septic emboli. Fungal hyphae characteristics were compatible with those of Aspergillus spp. There are few reports identifying fungi as agents associated with gastric perforation. There is a need for early identification of the infectious agent.
