Abstract :

Mucormycosis is a life threating infection caused by mucorales occurring in immunocompromised /diabetic individuals. Aspergillosis caused by aspergillus also causes a fatal disease in these individuals. A very few cases of coinfection of aspergillosis and mucormycosis are reported in diabetic patients in the literature. Here, we report this coinfection in a 60-years old female.
