The isolate of R. oryzae was recovered from three pleural effusion specimens, which were black in color. It was identified on the basis of characteristic colonial appearance and microscopic findings, as well as the partial sequencing of rRNA genes. The patient died of uncontrolled R. oryzae empyema thoracis and concomitant nosocomial infection. ? 2006 ISHAM.[SDGs]SDG3amikacin; antineoplastic agent; caspofungin; cotrimoxazole; ganciclovir; imipenem; ribosome RNA; rituximab; steroid; tacrolimus; voriconazole; acute lymphocytic leukemia; adult; allogenic bone marrow transplantation; article; bacterial infection; case report; cause of death; clinical feature; disease association; dysuria; fungal colonization; fungus isolation; graft versus host reaction; hematuria; hemorrhagic cystitis; hospital infection; human; human tissue; hyperbaric oxygen; lymphoproliferative disease; male; nucleotide sequence; pleura effusion; pleura empyema; Pneumocystis pneumonia; recipient; Rhizopus oryzae; RNA sequence; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; thoracocentesis; Bone Marrow Transplantation; DNA, Fungal; DNA, Ribosomal; Empyema, Pleural; Humans; Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Acute; Male; Middle Aged; Mucormycosis; Pleural Effusion; Radiography, Thoracic; Rhizopus; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Tomography, X-Ray Computed; Transplantation, Homologous; Bacteria (microorganisms); Fungi; Pneumocystis; Rhizopus oryzae; Stenotrophomonas maltophiliajournal article10.1080/13693780500148392168050962-s2.0-31344465686
