ABSTRACT

The incidence of fugal infection is increasing due to wide use of antibiotics, steroids, chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressive agents.

Mucormycosis is usually associated with debilitating diseases and immunosuppressive conditions. The treatments are control of debilitating diseases and then the wide surgical excision and chemotherapy.
