Abstract
Mucormycosis, an aggressive and potentially life-threatening fungal infection, presents multifaceted challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This review explores the diverse clinical spectrum of mucormycosis, encompassing its etiology rooted in environmental fungi, risk factors amplifying susceptibility, and intricate clinical manifestations affecting various organ systems. Diagnostic approaches, including imaging modalities and tissue biopsies, alongside management strategies such as antifungal therapy and surgical intervention, are delineated. Emphasizing the importance of an interprofessional approach, the abstract underscores the collaborative efforts of specialists from infectious diseases, otolaryngology, hematology/oncology, endocrinology, microbiology, and dedicated nursing and pharmacy support. Despite advancements, the prognosis for mucormycosis remains challenging, particularly without immune status restoration, urging further exploration and innovative approaches for improved patient outcomes
