Opportunistic fungal infections are associated with patients having compromised systemic health. In India, a slow rise in cases of mucormycosis has been observed as the country has seen a rising number of diabetes mellitus cases in the recent decades. This apart, an enormous increase in case numbers was seen in association with COVID-19 infections in the Asian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, markedly in India.

Article Synopsis
- * The case discussed involves a patient with an unusual presentation of rhino-orbital-cutaneous mucormycosis, starting as a localized abscess that progressed to a severe infection and headaches, raising suspicion of a fungal cause after ineffective antibiotic treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Fungal musculoskeletal infections can be challenging to identify due to their subtle symptoms and rarity, often overlapping with other diseases.
- These infections spread through blood, direct contact, or nearby tissue extension, with risk factors including weakened immune systems and exposure at work, and can either be isolated or part of broader systemic issues.
- Imaging plays a key role in diagnosis, revealing nonspecific signs like bone destruction and joint changes, but may also provide clues when combined with patient history and geographical context.
