Case report reveals mucormycosis as a cause of upper GI bleeding in immuno-compromised individuals, suggesting timely diagnosis is crucial.
Mucormycosis is a rare, aggressive fungal infection associated with high mortality, particularly in immuno-compromised individuals. Gastric involvement, though uncommon, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that frequently result in poor clinical outcomes. Our case emphasizes the importance of including uncommon infectious aetiology in the evaluation of upper GI bleeding, particularly in immuno-compromised patients, to facilitate timely intervention and potentially improve outcomes.
