摘要：

Mucormycosis, is an invasive infection caused by fungi. Mainly it affects patients with immunosuppressive conditions but can occur in immuncompetent host in specific situation such us direct skin inoculation by traumatic injury. We present a 56-year-old patient who hospitalized due to left orbital cellulitis and necrotizing fasciitis post traumatic injury. A diagnosis of invasive mucormycosis was established by tissue histopathology and culture. Despite daily surgical debridement and amphotericin B, the infection disseminated to central nervous system led to fatal outcome. We conclude that mucormycosis can disseminate in immunocompetent population and leads to death. (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
