Gastric Polyp A Rare Presentation of Mucormycosis
INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN CLINICAL PRACTICE(2023)
Abstract
Mucormycosis is usually an infection of immunocompromised patients. In the COVID-19 pandemic, its incidences increased due to immunocompromised states and injudicious use of steroids. It usually causes sinusitis and orbital involvement and may extend to the brain causing life-threatening condition. Involvement of gastrointestinal tract is rare. The stomach is the most commonly involved part followed by colon and ileum. It is mostly a part of disseminated disease. Here we are describing a case of dyspepsia that was diagnosed to have rare fungal infection without involving other usual sites.
