Abstract

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales and Candida is a yeast which is the most common cause of fungal infections in humans. The most commonly known risk factor for these fungal infections is uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM), followed by other causes of immunosuppression like neutropenia and corticosteroid therapy. In atypical clinical presentations, all differential diagnosis should be considered, and followed by histopathological and microbiological examination for diagnosis of fungal infections like mucormycosis and candidiasis in uncommon locations. Early diagnosis and combined medical and surgical treatment, along with resolution of the associated risk factors can lead to effective results and good prognosis.
