Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a hematological disease resulting in pancytopenia due to bone marrow failure. Treatment consists of immunosppressive therapy, or allo-SCT. Patients with aplastic anemia are predisposed to invasive fungal infections due to mucormycosis.

Here, we report a case of severe aplastic anemia with disseminated mucormycosis infection undergoing syngeneic transplant.
