Mucormycosis is a rapidly progressing and lethal infection caused by fungi of the order mucorales. The disease occurs mostly in patients with uncontrolled diabetes or other predisposing systemic conditions. We report a case of rhinofacial mucormycosis in a 39-year-old diabetic patient. The diagnosis was established by clinical examination, imaging, and confirmed by mycological examination. Rhizopus arrhizus was isolated. He was successfully treated with amphotericin B, surgical resection, diabetes control and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
