Mucor indicus is a rare, emerging cause of zygomycosis with 7 cases previously reported since 1975. We report the first case of endovascular M. indicus infection in a pediatric recipient of the Incor (Berlin Heart AG, Germany) implantable left ventricular assist device, and review the literature to describe the broadening clinical spectrum of zygomycosis caused by this emerging fungal pathogen.
