Abstract
Mucormycosis refers to several different disease caused by infection in the order of mucorales. Rhizopus species are the most common causative organism. Most mucormycosis infections are life-threatening and risk factor such as diabetic ketoacidosis and neutropenia, are present in most cases. Severe infection of the facial sinuses, which may extend into the brain, is the most common presentation. We describe our clinical experience with a case of mucormycosis of the maxilla. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can significantly reduce the mortality and morbidity of this lethal fungal infection. MedicineToday 2015 Vol.27(1): 38-40
