Mucormycosis is an aggressive and life-threatening opportunistic fungal infection, which predominantly affects immunocompromised patients. It typically manifests in rhinocerebral, pulmonary or disseminated forms in patients with immunosuppressive conditions. Mucormycosis limited to the oral cavity is rare, and to the best of our knowledge only seven cases have previously been reported in English literature. We present five consecutive cases of oral mucormycosis in patients with leukaemia, and provide a literature review.
毛霉菌病是一种侵袭性和危及生命的机会性真菌感染，主要影响免疫功能低下的患者。它通常在免疫抑制状态下的患者中表现为鼻脑型、肺型或播散型。局限于口腔的毛霉菌病很少见，据我们所知，以前仅在英文文献中报道过 7 例。我们报告了 5 例连续发生在白血病患者中的口腔毛霉菌病病例，并进行了文献复习。
