Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, is a rare but aggressive fungal disease with high morbidity and mortality rates that tends to affect patients who are severely immunocompromised. Early recognition of the infection and prompt intervention is critical for treatment success. In recent years the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in a surge in the number of cases of mucormycosis.

Invasive fungal infections, most commonly caused by species, are an underrecognized sequalae of traumatic injury that can complicate management of patients. The injury mechanism can introduce environmental spores into areas of the body normally not exposed to pathogens and this inoculation can progress rapidly to severe disease. The objective of this study was to present a case series of four trauma patients with invasive fungal infections that was used to develop an algorithm for work-up and treatment of these complex patients in future admissions.
