We present the case of a 28-year-old man with a long-standing history of cocaine abuse and Child-Pugh class C alcoholic liver cirrhosis who developed severe lower respiratory tract infection complicated with septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction. He was managed in the intensive care unit. On the eighth day after admission, he developed a nose discolouration, which was initially thought to be associated with high-dose vasopressors. Despite the reduction of vasopressors, the lesion progressed rapidly. It was later diagnosed as rhinocerebral mucormycosis. Amphotericin B was administered, but unfortunately the patient succumbed to the complications postinfection. The association between alcoholic liver cirrhosis and rhinocerebral mucormycosis should be known and prompt recognition warrants immediate treatment.
