Abstract
Mucormycosis is an acute and rapidly developing fungal infection that complicates immunosuppressed patients suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis and serious immunosuppression. It typically has a rapid fulminant course resulting to death. We report a patient who was admitted for diabetic ketoacidosis and pulmonary mucormycosis with an indolent and benign outcome, despite nonoptimal therapy.
