AbstractMucormycosis is an infection caused by a group of filamentous molds within the order Mucorales. Infections may result from ingestion of contaminated food, inhalation of spores into the nares or lungs, or inoculation into disrupted skin or wounds.

Mucormycosis is an aggressive, opportunistic infection caused by fungi belonging to the class of Phycomycetes. Rhino-occulo-cerebral mucormycosis is the commonest anatomical presentation of mucormycosis and is a potentially fatal disease. We report here a case of a 65-year-old diabetic female who presented with a locally invasive type of mucormycosis ...

The term mucormycosis encompasses a distinctive group of infections caused by fungi belonging to genera within the taxonomic order Mucorales, usually Rhizopus, Absidia, Mortierella, and Mucor. These fungi are widespread in nature, subsisting on decaying vegetation and diverse organic materials.

Mucormycosis refers to the disease caused by a growing number of members of the Mucorales. Typically an airborne infection, primary disease is initiated in the upper or lower airways and is associated with the clinical development of sinusitis, rhinocerebral mucormycosis, or pulmonary infection.

Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2009
As burn wound sepsis continues to be one of the most common causes of death in burn patients, it is important to note the trend of increased involvement of fungal pathogens. Very little exists in the literature regarding management of such fungal infections.

Mucormycosis is an aggressive and frequently lethal disease. Most patients with mucormycosis have poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and rhino-orbito-cerebral disease. Patients with hematologic malignancy and transplant recipients mostly present with rhino-orbito-cerebral or pulmonary disease.

Mucormycosis is a fulminant fungal infection occurring in debilitated patients with an underlying pathologic condition. The rhinocerebral form of the disease, which comprises nearly one half of recently reported cases, is most often found in uncontrolled diabetics or profoundly dehydrated children.

Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic infection caused by ubiquitous fungi typically found in soil, spoiled foods, bread, and dust. The acute infection most commonly is rhinocerebral and is associated with metabolic acidosis. Mucormycosis spreads quickly and can progress from the paranasal area to the brain in a few days.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1989
We report two cases of primary cutaneous mucormycosis in immunocompromised patients. Although their clinical presentation showed nonspecific necrotic ulcers, the histopathologic features were diagnostic. In both cases, broad, branching, nonseptate hyphae were found in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a virulent, rapidly progressive, potentially fatal illness which demands early diagnosis and aggressive medical and possible surgical therapy. Although most commonly reported in persons with poorly controlled diabetes, it may occur in other immunosuppressed hosts.
