One should have a high index of suspicion of invasive fungal infection such as Mucormycosis in the presence of predisposing conditions as mentioned above. Timely initiation of treatment reduces mortality. Multidisciplinary Team approach is required. Treatment of Mucormycosis involves combination of surgical debridement and antifungal therapy. The therapy has to be continued until clinical resolution of signs and symptoms of infection as well as resolution of radiological signs of active disease and elimination of predisposing risk factors such as hyperglycemia, immunosuppression etc, it may have to be given for quite long periods of time.
