The filamentous fungus that causes Mucormycosis is a newly discovered angiogenic infection found in large quantities and member of the Zygomycete class's Mucorales order. In patients undergoing hematopoietic allogeneic stem cell transplantation, after candidiasis aspergillosis, mucormycosis has become third most common invasive mycosis.

Mucormycosis an opportunistic mycosis, has emerged as a significant concern among severely immune compromised individuals, particularly those with hematologic malignancies or who have undergone stem cell organ transplantation. In this case report, we present rare of pulmonary mucormycosis complicated by abscess formation in middle-aged male medical history Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The imaging findings revealed non-specific fungal infection, and the pathology report confirmed diagnosis mucormycosis. Subsequently, patient underwent successful left upper lobectomy is currently stable condition.

Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection that can cause acute clinical decompensation and death. The literature demonstrates case fatality rates around 50% with differential courses contingent upon anatomical incursion. Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis represents a rapidly hostile variant poorer outcomes, warranting prompt recognition, workup, intervention. It seldom included in diagnoses those head neck pathology within the inpatient setting as diagnostic parsimony low prevalence lead this entity to be often overlooked. Given acuity risk factors involved, considering may prudent during assessment of hyperglycemic or immunodeficient patients exhibiting maxillofacial disease. When acquiring histories presenting illness performing physical examinations, includes mindfulness diabetes mellitus, craniofacial lesions, alertness deterioration. rising incidence complicated mellitus conjunction paucity reports noting orbit harbinger, we report 59-year-old woman admitted critical care for diabetic ketoacidosis altered mental status. Physical examination revealed swollen orbit, later diagnosed associated sino-orbit involvement cranial nerve deficits urgent extensive facial debridement.

The outbreak of COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has been linked to a notable rise in mucormycosis cases, particularly evident during second wave summer 2021. Mucormycosis, characterized its aggressive nature and high mortality rates, requires rapid identification intervention. Factors such as poorly controlled blood sugar levels, corticosteroid usage, COVID-19-related immune compromise are significant contributors development. objective this review is analyze incidence, progression, clinical manifestations, treatment approaches mucormycosis, drawing from selection 16 pertinent articles published between 2009 2022, accessed through databases like PubMed Google Scholar.

The outbreak of opportunistic fungal infections such as mucormycosis has been a critical issue following coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). Mucormycosis is happened by the group Mucorales and commonly affects immunocompromised patients. To date, COVID-19-associated (CAM) being reported in several countries. It should be noted that CAM started patients approximately within two to three weeks after onset COVID-19. However, here, one case, symptoms appeared just week. In with due this enigmatic infection, sinuses were most affected, followed orbit, nose, finally brain. All cases received glucocorticoids part viral therapy. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was all but case which COVID-19 detected, without complications, may sole predisposing agent. Therefore, manuscript, we eight COVID-19-induced mucormycosis. Although experienced evacuation right eye, others discharge promising outcomes receiving surgical debridement proper anti-fungal treatment including, amphotericin B, caspofungin, posaconazole.
