Resumen
La presente disertación corresponde a una revisión bibliográfica sobre la mucormicosis en la actualidad. Dicha exploración inicia con la descripción de la enfermedad y los agentes causales, así como la sinonimia y la historia de dicho padecimiento. Adicionalmente, se incluyen temas como la epidemiología y distribución geográfica, así como las vías de entrada y factores predisponentes como la diabetes mellitus y malignidades hematológicas. Se describe la patogénesis, factores de virulencia asociados, las formas clínicas de la enfermedad con sus respectivas manifestaciones, así como la respuesta inmune que se desarrolla en el hospedero. Por último, se describe lo encontrado en la literatura sobre los tópicos de diagnóstico clínico, radiológico y diagnóstico de laboratorio, además, del tratamiento contra la enfermedad, y las conclusiones del presente trabajo. Esta exposición procura compilar el conocimiento básico sobre esta micosis y los últimos avances científicos reportados en la literatura en el tema de la mucormicosis y sus agentes etiológicos.
