Three cases of mucoromycosis in patients with diabetes mellitus (Moscow region)
https://doi.org/10.14341/probl11524
Abstract
Mucoromycosis is an aggressive fungal infection, the so-called phytomycosis is a general term for the spectrum of diseases caused by Mucorales class fungi [2]. Mucoromycosis is rare in Northern Europe (occasionally imported from the countries of the Mediterranean or America), which often leads to fatal diagnostic errors. In the last decade, cases of mucoromycosis have been reported in the Moscow region; our experience in treating this disease may prove useful to endocrinologists.
