case_images: A) Symmetrical large purpura on the patient's limbs; B) Computed tomography of the brain showing multiple infarcts in the right frontal lobe (white arrow); C) Necrotic lesion rapidly expanding to the entire face; D) Necrotic tissue culture yielding two types of fungi on blood agar, the blue arrow indicates Rhizopus delemar and the red arrow points to T. asahii; E) Rhizopus delemar lactophenol cotton blue stain showing stolons and pigmented rhizoids and the formation of sporangiophores, singly or in groups, from nodes directly above the rhizoids, x1000;F) Budding spores and arthrospores on T. asahii lactophenol cotton blue stain, x1000.

case_images: Further laboratory tests, including a CT scan, revealed multiple infarcts in the right frontal lobe of the patient's brain (Figure 1B). On the 10th day of hospitalization, necrosis rapidly spread to almost the entire face of the patient (Figure 1C). Rhizopus delemar and the red arrow points to T. asahii on blood agar. Rhizopus delemar is characterized by the presence of stolons and pigmented rhizoids and by the formation of sporangiophores, singly or in groups, from nodes directly above the rhizoids on lactophenol cotton blue stain (Figure 1E). T. asahii lactophenol cotton blue stain (Figure 1F).
