Abstract EN
Mucormycosis is a rare and often fatal invasive fungal infection mostly seen in immune-compromised individuals.
A high index of clinical suspicion is necessary, so that effective preemptive therapy can be started, as timely intervention is crucial.
In this series we present three cases of invasive mucormycosis in patients with underlying inflammatory bowel disease that had received therapy with immunomodulators prior to the infection.
All three had varied clinical manifestations.
We also review the literature of invasive mucormycosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
