Overview
Mucormycosis may be classified according to the organ system involved including brain, lungs, skin, GIT, bones, liver, spleen. Disseminated infection affects multiple organ systems.
Classification
Mucormycosis may be classified based on the organ system involvement as follows:
Type | Transmission | Signs and Symptoms | Complications |
---|---|---|---|
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis |
|
|
|
Pulmonary mucormycosis |
|
|
|
Cutaneous mucormycosis |
|
|
|
Gastrointestinal mucormycosis |
|
|
|
Disseminated mucormycosis |
|
|
