Hospital San Juan de Dios and Sor María Ludovica in La Plata, between 1980 and 1997. Mucormicosis is a frequently fatal, opportunistic fungal infection, that affects immunocompromised patients. The risk factors include diabetes mellitus, leukemia, lymphoma, burns, etc. We present three cases of cutaneous mucormicosis in children 3, 10 and 11 years old, who had been sent to the hospital due to compound fractures in a car crash; one case of pulmonary mucormicosis in an adult 28 years old with prolonged corticotherapy and rhinocerebral mucormicosis in a patient 38 years old with a diagnosis of acute lymphoid leukemia.
