Abstract
SUMMARY The first documented infection of a human being by Saksenaea vasiformis is described. Identification problems are discussed that stem from the failure of this zygomycete to sporulate on the primary isolation media used in medical mycology. The etiology of zygomycosis is critically reviewed and 10 species of zygomycetes classified in two orders and 6 genera are considered to be well authenticated as disease agents of humans.
