Mucormycosis is the disease caused by the fungus of the order mucorales. Rhizopus species are the most common causative organisms. It is often associated with compromised immunity and poor prognosis. Farmers constitute the high risk group and peak incidence is observed during the monsoons which correspond to the agricultural practices in South India. Preventive measures such as the use of a face mask during agricultural activities may decrease the risk of acquiring this debilitating illness. We present series of seven cases of sinonasal mucormycosis.
