Mucormycosis is a rare complication of diabetic ketoacidosis and immunosuppressed states, such as those occurring after renal transplantation. We describe two cases of mucormycosis in renal allograft recipients and present a review of similar cases previously reported. An analysis of these data suggests that renal transplant patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus are most susceptible to developing this complication.
