ABSTRACT

Mucormycosis is an infection by opportunistic fungi of the order Mucorales and third cause of Invasive Fungal Infection, is of low incidence, but high mortality (50-90%), usually occurs in immunocompromised hosts. It is acquired by inhalation, ingestion and / or contamination of wounds by sporangioespore, which are found in the environment. The main clinical presentation in children is rhino-orbitocerebral. The fundamental pillar in the prognosis is the clinical suspicion, early fungal therapy and debridement of the necrotic tissue. We present a series of 3 cases of children with haematological disease and secondary immunosuppression with mucormycosis, diagnostic method, treatment and outcome.
