title: Nonsurgical cure of pulmonary mucormycosis.
abstract: Pulmonary mucormycosis is an unusual infection which appears to occur with increased frequency in diabetics. We report the development of pulmonary mucormycosis in an adult onset diabetic which resolved with medical therapy alone. Computerized tomography proved useful in assessing his response to therapy.
