title: [Epidemiology of mucormycosis in metropolitan France, 1997-2010].
abstract: It is difficult to estimate the increase of the incidence of mucormycosis at a country level because of the low number of studies in general population. This article analyzes and completes the initial data of a previous study carried out between 1997 and 2006 by covering the period 1997-2010 and by integrating a detailed study of the risk factors, confirming the existence of a real increase of incidence of mucormycosis linked with the increasing number of the persons at risk.
