We presented a case of pulmonary Rhizops microsporus var. @entity281 which developed abruptly during treatment of @entity565 by systemic corticosteroids. The @entity1 , an 85 year-old- @entity1 , was given systemic steroid therapy for 15 days. She suddenly became febrile two days after the therapy and was coughing up yellow sputum. Chest X-ray film showed multiple nodules with @entity6675 which became worsened rapidly. A specimen of sputum culture gave a growth of Mucoraceae, which was identified to be Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis. She was given @entity2379 and @entity5897 was added on the basis of MIC value of the strain. Although she improved initially, her clinical course showed @entity1398 , @entity8307 , @entity3147 , and then died after about six months. Because the diagnosis of @entity358 is difficult and prognosis is poor, further studies for investigating clinical features would be necessary.
