Abstract:
Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic infection caused by fungi belonging to phylum Glomeromycota. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is most common and fulminating type of mucormycosis, which may lead to fatal consequences within a week of disease onset if left untreated. It is invariably associated with diabetes mellitus, hyperglycaemia, ketoacidosis or with debilitating disease such as leukaemia and lymphoma. Mucor indicus was first discovered in the late 19th century and is generally considered a non-pathogenic organism. We have reported rhino-sino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in a 17 years old male, known case of diabetes mellitus came to OPD unconscious with diabetic ketoacidosis and was diagnosed with M. indicus. It can be said to be the first case report globally to the best of our knowledge.
