Rhinocerebral mucormycosis in COVID-19 patient with diabetes a deadly trio: Case series from the north-western part of India

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), may present with a myriad of clinical manifestations and complications. Patients with COVID-19 are at increased risk of pulmonary thromboembolism, acute cardiac injury, arrhythmias, acute stroke, and secondary infections. Mucormycosis is a catastrophic fungal inf...

description Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), may present with a myriad of clinical manifestations and complications. Patients with COVID-19 are at increased risk of pulmonary thromboembolism, acute cardiac injury, arrhythmias, acute stroke, and secondary infections. Mucormycosis is a catastrophic fungal infection characterized by vascular invasion, thrombosis, and necrosis of tissues. We report five cases of COVID-19 infection, who developed rhino-orbital mucormycosis, during the course of treatment. Early recognition of this life-threatening infection is the key to allow for optimal treatment and improved outcomes.
