摘要：

Mucor indicus is a rare, emerging cause of zygomycosis with 7 cases previously reported since 1975. We report the first case of endovascular M. indicus infection in a pediatric recipient of the Incor (Berlin Heart AG, Get-many) implantable left ventricular assist device, and review the literature to describe the broadening clinical spectrum of zygomycosis caused by this emerging fungal pathogen.
