Description
Katragadda and four co-authors report a 2026 case of a deadly fungal infection found in the stomach of a woman with uncontrolled diabetes. The fungus usually strikes the nose, eyes, and brain in people with weak defenses. Gut cases are rare and deadlier still. The patient was fifty-five and arrived in septic shock from a kidney infection and a diabetic crisis.
Two weeks of strong care fixed her kidneys, but nausea and poor eating dragged on. A camera exam of her stomach found ulceration, and tissue tests proved the fungal infection. A targeted drug then restored her appetite and cleared the nausea. The authors urge early camera checks and tissue proof in high-risk patients whose gut symptoms linger after a hard illness.
