Abstract

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection involving rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, disseminated forms with high morbidity and mortality with rare involvement of urinary bladder. Diagnosis is made by examining under a microscope, identifying broad, nonseptate, irregular, ribbon-shaped hyphae. Timely diagnosis and starting antifungal drugs are key for successful treatment.
