    AbstractMucormycosis is a rare, but severe, complication in allogenic bone-marrow recipients with a mortality rate of about 80%. Moreover, its incidence appears to have increased within the last decade. We report a case of pulmonary and nasal mucormycosis in a 55-y-old patient, which occurred 1 y after BMT. Treatment combining 4 months of amphotericin B, early surgical resection of infected tissue and discontinuation of immunosuppressive treatment allowed the cure of this mould infection.
