Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by Mucorales. The disease is uncommon and produces serious and rapidly fatal infection in diabetic or immunocompromised patients. The classical presentation of rhinocerebral mucormycosis is involvement of nasal mucosa with invasion of paranasal sinuses and orbit. Early diagnosis is based on (direct) histological examination and computed tomography scan. Unfortunately the clinical signs and symptoms do not occur in all cases. A high index of suspicion is needed not only in typical groups of immunocompromised patients or diabetics, but also in patients with serious chronic diseases. We report a patient who was not diabetic, but she had a history of cirrhosis and well compensated renal failure.
毛霉病是一种由毛霉目真菌引起的机会性真菌感染。该疾病并不常见，在糖尿病患者或免疫功能低下的患者中会引发严重且迅速致命的感染。鼻脑型毛霉病的典型表现是鼻黏膜受累，并侵犯鼻窦和眼眶。早期诊断基于（直接）组织学检查和计算机断层扫描。不幸的是，并非所有病例都会出现临床体征和症状。不仅在典型的免疫功能低下患者群体或糖尿病患者中，而且在患有严重慢性疾病的患者中，都需要高度怀疑。我们报告了一名非糖尿病患者，但她有肝硬化病史且肾功能衰竭代偿良好。
