Mucormycosis is a fungal infection commonly affecting structures in the head and neck, such as the air sinuses, orbits, and the brain. Common predisposing factors include diabetes mellitus and immunosuppression. We describe our clinical experience with four cases of mucormycosis of the maxillary antrum associated with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus managed at our centre. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can significantly reduce the mortality and morbidity of this lethal fungal infection.
毛霉菌病是一种真菌感染，通常影响头部和颈部的结构，如鼻窦、眼眶和大脑。常见的诱发因素包括糖尿病和免疫抑制。我们描述了在我们中心治疗的四例与未控制的糖尿病相关的上颌窦毛霉菌病的临床经验。早期诊断和及时治疗可以显著降低这种致命真菌感染的死亡率和发病率。
