Mucormycosis is generally considered to be an acute, rapidly progressing, opportunistic fungal infection. Chronic manifestations are extremely rare. Mucormycosis affecting the jejunum is very rare and few cases have been reported. We report a case of mucormycosis causing jejunal stricture in an infant aged six months.
