This condition is a new challenge for the physicians in this pandemic situation. Mucormycosis predominantly occurs among patients with immunosuppression but immunocompetent patients are not immune. Here, we report a case of gastric mucormycosis occurring in an immunocompetent patient during the pre-COVID era. Patient presented with fever and upper gastro-intestinal bleeding. Diagnostic work-up confirmed gastric mucormycosis. His response to medical management was unsatisfactory and he died while awaiting a gastric resection.</p> <p>BIRDEM Med J 2021; 11(3): 223-226</p>}, number={3}, journal={BIRDEM Medical Journal}, author={Chowdhury, Md Mainul Hasan and Fatema, Kaniz and Ahmed, Fatema and Ahmed, Kazi Nuruddin and Ahsan, ASM Areef and Faruque, Mohammad Omar}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={223–226} }
