Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis Among Diabetic Patients: An Emerging Trend.

Sujatha S Reddy¹, N Rakesh², Pallavi Chauhan³, Shivani Sharma².

Abstract

Mucormycosis is an acute necrotic fungal infection with a fulminant course. Earlier considered a rare entity, mucormycosis is being reported with increasing frequency in recent years, possibly due to the increase in immunocompromised population especially diabetic patients. We report three cases of rhinocerebral mucormycosis among poorly controlled diabetic patients. This article emphasizes the need for further awareness of this disease, early diagnosis, and treatment to counter this opportunistic infection.
