Overview

Mucormycosis may be classified according to the organ system involved including brain, lungs, skin, GIT, bones, liver, spleen. Disseminated infection affects multiple organ systems.

Classification

Mucormycosis may be classified based on the organ system involvement as follows:

Type Transmission Signs and Symptoms Complications
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis
Pulmonary mucormycosis
  • Acquired by:
    • Inhalation
    • Hematogenous spread
    • Lymphatic spread
Cutaneous mucormycosis
  • Skin redness
  • Numbness
  • Warmth
  • Skin ulceration and necrosis
Gastrointestinal mucormycosis
Disseminated mucormycosis
  • Acquired by:
    • Hematogenous spread is usually the most common route of dissemination and pulmonary mucormycosis is usually the culprit
