Zygomycosis and the Joplin Tornado
Vascular Invasion By Hyphae
July 2011
You can see here this is a vessel that has been invaded by a zygomycetes. The whole vascular wall is surrounded by a zygomycetes. And as we mentioned earlier, what happens is they hyphae grow down inside the vessel, the red cells, the white cells plate aggregate on that and form a clot or a thrombus and it blocks or occludes the artery and then the blood supply down to that area distally, does not occur and so the tissue dies and becomes necrotic and that is where the major problem occurs.
