Background:

Mucormycosis is a rare but highly fatal invasive fungal infection.
Timely diagnosis and effective treatments are critical for improving patient survival rates.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of mucormycosis patients.
To identify factors influencing prognosis in mucormycosis.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of adult mucormycosis cases (2000-2021) at a single institution.
Data collection included demographics, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes.
Comparison with existing literature.

Main Results:

Eleven cases analyzed: multisite (4), skin (1), lung (5), gastrointestinal (1).
Diagnosis primarily relied on pathological and histological findings; metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) used in three cases.
Delayed diagnosis (>7 days admission or >30 days symptom onset) correlated with poorer prognosis.

Conclusions:

Increased awareness and reduced diagnosis time are key to improving mucormycosis prognosis.
Suspected cases require prompt sample collection for biopsy, culture, or mNGS for definitive diagnosis.
