Abstract
Mucormycosis is a rare and life threatening fungal infection in children that occurs in association with immunocompromised states. Very few case reports of rhino-orbital mucormycosis have been documented in pediatric age group and most of these have been fatal. We report a case of mucormycosis in a child with type I Diabetes Mellitus who presented with sero-sanginous nasal discharge along with orbital cellulitis. Nasal mucosal biopsy revealed aseptate hyphae diagnostic of mucormycosis. The CT showed involvement of ethmoid and maxillary sinuses along with retro-orbital extension, sparing cerebral involvement. We managed the child with lipid complex amphotericin B coupled with repeated surgical debridement. On follow up at six months, the child was disease free.
Key Messages:
Mucormycosis is a rare but an acute and frequently fatal infection in young patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
High index of suspicion and combined approach with amphotericin B and appropriate surgery is rewarding in management of mucormycosis.
