Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by the fungi Mucorales. Mucorales (Mucormycosis) DNA Detection test by RT-PCR method helps to detect the presence of mucor moulds in the blood. Individuals in an immunocompromised state or with severe burns, injuries or diabetes are more prone to develop mucormycosis infection. Individuals who have mucormycosis may not know whether they have this infection. You may get diagnosed with the condition upon going to the doctor for a lung, sinus, or skin infection.
