Zygomycosis (Mucormycosis) A. Overview and Pathogenesis Zygomycosis, also called mucormycosis, is a rare but aggressive fungal infection. Fungi of the Mucorales group are ubiquitous in nature and typically enter the body via inhalation or through skin injuries. Pathogenesis: Spores germinate in host tissues, forming hyphae that invade blood vessels, causing tissue necrosis.
