Mucormycosis is an emerging disease, and its incidence has increased at our hospital over the years. In this study, the rhino-cerebral clinical type was the most frequent in patients with uncontrolled diabetes; the main aetiological agent was R. arrhizus. Early diagnosis, control of the underlying disease and prompt management may increase the survival rate.
