Abstract
Infective complications continue to be a big hurdle to patient and graft survival after transplantation. Fungal infections can occur anytime posttransplant. They often present with nonspecific symptoms leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Pain abdomen in a posttransplant patient should always be evaluated in detail to rule out invasive fungal infections. Here, we present a case of gastric mucormycosis presenting as acute abdomen in a diabetic patient who was a 1-month posttransplant.
