Аннотация
CASE: Two patients who sustained multiple injuries after a road traffic accident developed cutaneous mucormycosis after a superficial abrasion. In the first case, the patient was diabetic with poorly controlled glycemic status. In the second case, the patient was young and immunocompetent with no known risk factors.
CONCLUSION: Although there are few case reports of posttraumatic cutaneous mucormycosis, there is no single report describing its occurrence after a superficial abrasion. Cutaneous mucormycosis can be fatal if not identified early and treated aggressively. A high index of suspicion, timely diagnosis, and repeated debridement with antifungal therapy provided good functional outcomes in both patients.
