| Disease Introduction Mechanism | Mucormycosis is a deep-seated mycosis caused by fungi belonging to the order Mucorales, represented by Rhizopus oryzae, and is known as one of the most lethal diseases, occurring mainly in patients with hematologic malignancies. Diagnosis is difficult due to its relative rarity, limited testing methods, and similarities in patient background and clinical symptoms with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). |
