【 摘 要 】

Opportunistic fungal infections are life-threatening conditions with a high rate of morality, mostly occurring in immunocompromised hosts. We reported the case of mixed mold infection in a 69 year-old patient with latent diabetes mellitus. She was initially admitted for right orbital cellulitis. Cerebro-rhino-orbital mucormycosis and aspergillosis coinfection was diagnosed from mycological testing and histology after nasal biopsy sample. The patient received amphotericin B deoxycholate then voriconazole combined to surgical debridement with a favorable outcome.
