Mucormycosis Diagnosis & Tests
Mucormycosis should be suspected if symptoms appear in individuals with immune disorders such as diabetes or those with weakened immune systems such as transplant recipients. Symptoms of rhinocerebral mucormycosis are most likely to occur among immunosuppressed people.
Depending on the site of involvement, CT scans or MRIs may be performed. Evaluation by an ear-nose-throat specialist is recommended if sinus involvement is suspected.
To definitively diagnose mucormycosis, a tissue specimen must be obtained and analyzed.
