This is the case of a woman, 49 year old, suffering from acute lymphoblastic common leukemia, who died from respiratory and cardiac insufficiency 47 days after the onset of aplasia. Autopsy revealed cardiac and cerebral dissemination of pulmonary mycosis. Absidia corymbifera (Mucoraceae, Phycomycete) was shown by culture to be the pathogen involved.
