Zygomycosis is the broadest term to refer to infections caused by bread mold fungi of the zygomycota phylum. However, because zygomycota has been identified as polyphyletic, and is not included in modern fungal classification systems, the diseases that zygomycosis can refer to are better called by their specific names: mucormycosis (after Mucorales), phycomycosis (after Phycomycetes) and basidiobolomycosis (after Basidiobolus). These rare yet serious and potentially life-threatening fungal infections usually affect the face or oropharyngeal (nose and mouth) cavity.<br />Typical main clinical features: Sinus pain and discharge plus fever and palatal ulceration. <br />Diagnosis: Clinical + investigations. <br />Investigations: Biopsy + Radiography + Full blood picture Exclude diabetes. <br />Management: Surgery + Antifungals. <br />
