Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, is a rare but severe fungal infection caused by the Mucorales group of molds that typically affects immunocompromised individuals and can manifest in various forms such as rhino-orbital-cerebral, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and disseminated infections.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy potentially aids in Mucormycosis treatment by enhancing the immune response and improving tissue oxygenation to inhibit fungal growth.
