Abstrakt:	Mucor and Rhizopus species are recognized as the primary culprits responsible for mucormycosis, a severe fungal infection known for its opportunistic nature. This infection primarily targets individuals with compromised immune systems, including those with diabetes mellitus and patients undergoing glucocorticoid therapy, where the immune response is weakened. This article aims to underscore the pivotal role of prompt diagnosis and intensive treatment in managing mucormycosis, particularly in pediatric patients, as it can avert death and mitigate serious morbidity. This case report emphasizes the urgency of identifying fungal infections in patients with diabetes early on and subsequently treating them aggressively to prevent adverse outcomes. It highlights the potential for excellent treatment outcomes when mucormycosis is promptly diagnosed and managed with intensive therapy. By doing so, significant morbidity and mortality associated with this condition can be effectively prevented, underscoring the importance of vigilance and proactive management in patients with predisposing factors for fungal infections.
