Abstract
A successfully treated case of mucocutaneous mucormycosis, after dental extractions in a patient with uncontrolled diabetes, has been reported. The pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus that contributes to the development of opportunistic fungal infections and gangrenous ulcerations, in a setting of decreased host resistance, has been discussed with reference to differential diagnosis and management. The consequences of operating on a patient with uncontrolled diabetes are evident.Entities:
