Mucormycosis is a rare but serious fungal infection caused by molds in the Mucor family. It primarily affects individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with diabetes, cancer, or those who have undergone organ transplants. The infection can occur in various parts of the body, including the sinuses, lungs, and skin. Symptoms of mucormycosis may include fever, cough, chest pain, and swelling around the eyes or nose. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, often involving antifungal medications and sometimes surgery to remove infected tissue. Prompt medical attention can improve outcomes for affected individuals.
