| Popis: | Pulmonary mucormycosis is relatively uncommon, but a life-threatening infection affecting mostly individuals with diabetes mellitus, hematological malignancies, chronic renal failure, posttransplantation and other immunocompromised states. Mucormycosis of the lung has a wide range of clinical and radiological manifestations. Very few cases of pulmonary mucormycosis presenting as a fungal ball, cavity resembling tuberculosis, nonresolving, and recurrent pneumonia in patients with diabetes mellitus or other immunosuppressive conditions, were reported from India. We report a case of pulmonary mucormycosis in an adult male patient with uncontrolled diabetes. |
