Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

In most cases, the prognosis of mucormycosis is poor and has varied mortality rates depending on its form and severity. In the Rhinocerebral form, the mortality rate is between 30% and 70%, whereas disseminated mucormycosis presents with the highest mortality rate in an otherwise healthy patient with a mortality rate of up to 90%. Patients with AIDS have a mortality rate of almost 100%.
