Abstract: Mucormycosis is a rare but severe invasive fungal infection, mainly described in immune compromised patients. Mucormycosis is a rare but severe invasive fungal infection occurring mostly in immune compromised patients, especially in individuals diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or hematological malignancies and in previously healthy subjects with open wounds contaminated by Mucorales. Life-threatening fungal infections have risen sharply in recent years, owing to advances and intensity of medical care that may blunt immunity in patients. These insights create a foundation for the development of new immune-based strategies for prevention or enhanced clearance of fungal diseases.

Abstract: Mucormycosis is an angioinvasive fungal infection due to fungi of the order Mucorales. Depending on the clinical presentation it is classified as rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, disseminated or other, which includes uncommon rare forms, such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis, peritonitis, renal, etc. The disease was first described in 1876 when Fürbinger described in Germany a patient who died of cancer and in whom the right lung showed a hemorrhagic infarct with fungal hyphae and a few sporangia . In 1885, Arnold Paltauf published the first case of disseminated mucormycosis, which he named "Mycosis mucorina" His drawings of the etiologic agent showed the presence of sporangiophores and rhizoid-like structures, and this led to the conclusion that the infection was most probably caused by Lichtheimia corymbifera. Over time, more cases were diagnosed, and the incidence of the disease has increased
