Abstract
Mucormycosis is an invasive and potentially lethal infection caused by fungi of the order mucorales. The microbiology, clinical forms and pathology of mucormycosis are well established but the rarity of the disease leads to difficulties in diagnosis and delays can result in a poor prognosis. The main risk factors for this disease are diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, organ transplantation and chronic use of iron-chelating agents and immunocompromised patients. Early recognition and aggressive treatment are of paramount importance to have reduced the mortality and morbidity.
