Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus,[3][4] is a serious fungal infection, usually in people who are immunocompromised.[9][11] Symptoms depend on where in the body the infection occurs.[12][13] It most commonly infects the nose, sinuses, eye, and brain resulting in a runny nose, one-sided facial swelling and pain, headache, fever, blurred vision, bulging or displacement of the eye (proptosis), and tissue death.[1][6] Other forms of disease may infect the lungs, stomach and intestines, and skin.[6
