Co-Existing Fungi: An Unforeseen Combo Creating a Dilemma in Diagnostic Morale

Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection belonging to Mucorales order fungi. Rhino-cerebral form is more noted in patients with diabetes mellitus, but pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare manifestation with hematological malignancy, malignant tumors, and transplant recipient patients. Aspergillus species are also known to cause allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, and invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of pulmonary mucormycosis superimposed with aspergillus infection presenting in an immunocompromised patient with metastatic prostate cancer on chemotherapy, initially misdiagnosed as aspergillus infection.
