Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Mucor infection:

1.	Antifungal AgentsIBA 12/01/2020 - "In this case report, we describe the course of a patient with a disseminated Mucor infection, primarily involving the upper extremities, who was successfully treated with topical and systemic antifungal agents without the need for surgical intervention." 11/05/2019 - "Treatment of Mucor infection is challenging because Mucor is inherently resistant to nearly all clinical antifungal agents. " 11/05/2019 - "We employed a systemic, intravenous murine model of Mucor infection to elucidate the potential impact of epimutation in vivo Infection with an epimutant strain resistant to the antifungal agents FK506 and rapamycin revealed that the epimutant-induced drug resistance was stable in vivo in a variety of different organs and tissues. "
2.	Voriconazole (Vfend)FDA LinkGeneric 06/01/2023 - "Any attempt to prevent or treat Aspergillus or Mucor infections requires the administration of some drugs in the azole group, which include voriconazole, posaconazole and isavuconazole, noted for their activity against these pathogens. "
3.	Sirolimus (Rapamycin)FDA Link 11/05/2019 - "We employed a systemic, intravenous murine model of Mucor infection to elucidate the potential impact of epimutation in vivo Infection with an epimutant strain resistant to the antifungal agents FK506 and rapamycin revealed that the epimutant-induced drug resistance was stable in vivo in a variety of different organs and tissues. "
4.	Tacrolimus (Prograf)FDA LinkGeneric 11/05/2019 - "We employed a systemic, intravenous murine model of Mucor infection to elucidate the potential impact of epimutation in vivo Infection with an epimutant strain resistant to the antifungal agents FK506 and rapamycin revealed that the epimutant-induced drug resistance was stable in vivo in a variety of different organs and tissues. "
5.	Factor VIIa (Activated Factor VII)IBA 02/01/2016 - "Endogenous Heparinoids May Cause Bleeding in Mucor Infection and can be Detected by Nonactivated Thromboelastometry and Treated by Recombinant Activated Factor VII: A Case Report."
6.	Methylprednisolone FDA LinkGeneric 06/01/2008 - "Up to our knowledge, this is the first case of renal transplant with extrarenal-ethemoidal sinus-mucor infection associated with acute vascular rejection that in spite of aggressive anti-rejection therapies with methylprednisolone, rituximab and plasma exchange, had favourable outcome in terms of graft and patient survival. "
7.	Immunoglobulin G (IgG)IBA 11/01/2019 - "[The 471st case: duodenal ulcer, mucor infection, and elevated IgG(4)]."
8.	Heparinoids (Heparinoid)IBA 02/01/2016 - "Endogenous Heparinoids May Cause Bleeding in Mucor Infection and can be Detected by Nonactivated Thromboelastometry and Treated by Recombinant Activated Factor VII: A Case Report."
9.	Blood Glucose (Blood Sugar)IBA 11/01/2023 - "The ulceration on the skin of the head and neck, accompanied by rhinitis, headache, orbital inflammation, and eyelid edema, should raise a high suspicion of Mucor infection in diabetic patients with inadequately controlled blood glucose. "
10.	AzolesIBA 06/01/2023 - "Any attempt to prevent or treat Aspergillus or Mucor infections requires the administration of some drugs in the azole group, which include voriconazole, posaconazole and isavuconazole, noted for their activity against these pathogens. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Liver Transplantation 06/01/2006 - "The aim of this study was to present a single case of mucor infection after 900 consecutive liver transplantations. " 02/15/2002 - "We present five cases of mucor infection after transplantation (three after a series of 750 orthotopic liver transplantation and two after a series of 13 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes) subjected to medical and surgical treatment and analyze the factors related to the development of this infection. "
2.	Transplantation 07/01/2011 - "We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records for evidence of mucor infection in patients transplanted between January 2005 and December 2009 at the Department of Nephrology and Clinical Transplantation (IKDRC), Civil Hospital Campus, Asarwa, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. " 07/01/1996 - "These two cases represent aggressive management of cutaneous mucor infections, which is believed to be required for the successful completion of a marrow transplantation procedure." 07/01/1996 - "Cutaneous mucor infection treated with wide excision in two children who underwent marrow transplantation." 02/15/2002 - "We present five cases of mucor infection after transplantation (three after a series of 750 orthotopic liver transplantation and two after a series of 13 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes) subjected to medical and surgical treatment and analyze the factors related to the development of this infection. "
3.	Kidney Transplantation 02/15/2002 - "Successful treatment of mucor infection after liver or pancreas-kidney transplantation." 02/01/2002 - "Treatment of mucor infection after liver or pancreas-kidney transplantation." 02/15/2002 - "We present five cases of mucor infection after transplantation (three after a series of 750 orthotopic liver transplantation and two after a series of 13 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes) subjected to medical and surgical treatment and analyze the factors related to the development of this infection. "
4.	Therapeutics 02/01/2013 - "High suspicion of a Mucor infection favors early detection and timely appropriate antifungal therapy, which is crucial for the prognosis of these patients." 07/01/2006 - "We treated three children with hematological malignancies and proven fungal infections (one cerebral mold infection, one disseminated Candida infection, one naso-pharyngeal mucor infection) with combination antifungal therapy plus granulocyte-colony-stimulation-factor-mobilized granulocyte transfusions as secondary prophylaxis during subsequent neutropenic episodes. "
5.	Bone Marrow Transplantation (Transplantation, Bone Marrow) 07/01/1996 - "Cutaneous mucor infection developed in two children who had undergone bone marrow transplantation for treatment of leukemia. "
