Abstract
In this paper, we present a 69 years old diabetic patient with mucormycosis who was succesfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB), posaconazole and deferasirox despite having no adequate surgery. There was no relapse on 6 month post-treatment follow-up. We conclude that combination of antifungal antibiotics with deferasirox may be successful in the salvage therapy of mucormycosis especially in diabetic patients.
