ABSTRACT
Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection frequently associated with diabetes mellitus or an immunocompromised status. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis, the most frequent form of mucormycosis, is characterized by facial pain, swelling, fever, blood-tinged rhinorrhea and shows a rapidly progressive course. Herein, we describe an immunocompromised and diabetic woman with rhinocerebral mucormycosis initially misdiagnosed as herpes zoster.
