    AbstractMucormycosis is a rare, rapidly fatal opportunistic invasive fungal infection occurring in immunocompromised patients. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis usually follows direct inoculation of fungal spores at the site of damaged or traumatized skin. We report a case of fatal nosocomial post-traumatic cutaneous mucormycosis in a diabetic patient and we performed a systematic review of reported cases of nosocomial post-traumatic cutaneous mucormycosis to describe their demographic profile, predisposing factors, treatment and outcome.
