Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis, a rare fungal infection, presents diagnostic challenges and requires prompt antifungal therapy and surgery. Early intervention is crucial for survival in immunocompromised patients.
Area of Science:
- Mycology
- Infectious Diseases
- Critical Care Medicine
Background:
- Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is a severe, invasive fungal infection caused by Mucorales fungi, primarily Rhizopus oryzae.
- It predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals, with rare occurrences in healthy subjects.
- ROCM presents with non-specific symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging.
