Key Points

  • This research aims to outline effective treatment strategies for pulmonary mucormycosis and highlight future areas of investigation.
  • Early recognition of pulmonary mucormycosis cases
  • LAMB induction for initial treatment
  • Optimization of host factors
  • Multidisciplinary surgical assessment
  • Oral triazole for maintenance therapy
  • Prompt treatment improves patient outcomes
  • Combination therapy is reserved for severe cases due to insufficient evidence
  • Emerging antifungals warrant further research
  • Future studies should assess novel treatment strategies and host-directed therapies

Abstract

Optimal care of PM requires early recognition, prompt LAMB induction with rigorous host factor optimization, multidisciplinary surgical assessment, followed by oral triazole maintenance. Combination antifungal therapy lacks definite evidence and should be reserved for severe or refractory cases. Future research priorities include prospective evaluation of treatment strategies, host-directed therapies, emerging antifungals (oral nanocrystal amphotericin, fosmanogepix, etc.), and systematic assessment of adjunctive modalities.
