[Clinical features and outcome in patients with mucormycosis in a tertiary hospital (2012-2016)].

CONCLUSIONS: Mucormycosis has a high mortality rate, especially the pulmonary forms. Musculoskeletal involvement had a better prognosis. The main group at risk was that of patients with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Combination therapy had better results than monotherapy, although more experience is needed to define the most appropriate treatment.
