PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review describes the emerging trends of @entity281 in developing countries, and highlights the major epidemiological differences from the developed countries. RECENT FINDINGS: The limited data available from developing countries suggest an alarming @entity3 , especially @entity2381 and @entity2583 , and also a difference in risk factors and causative agents between the developed and developing world. Sino-orbital, cerebral and ophthalmic infections due to @entity11792 are the major clinical types in @entity2381 , after @entity57 . @entity11792 and Fusarium spp. are frequent causes of @entity130 -associated @entity1036 in agricultural workers. Rhino-orbito-cerebral presentation associated with uncontrolled @entity6 is the predominant @entity2583 . Isolated @entity8 has emerged as a new clinical entity. Apophysomyces elegans and Mucor irregularis are emerging species in these regions and uncommon agents such as Rhizopus homothallicus have also been reported. Many pathogens are geographically restricted, with Pythium insidionum, Rhinocladiella mackenziei and M. irregularis being described almost exclusively from Thailand, Middle East and China, respectively. SUMMARY: Despite limited studies, certain peculiarities have been observed in invasive @entity281 in developing countries, including a high incidence of @entity75 , @entity2583 and @entity2381 ; few different clinical presentations; and a varied spectrum of pathogens involved in such lesions.

The emerging epidemiology of XXXX in developing countries.
