Abstract
Healthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) are not uncommon after COVID‐19. Kubin et al. reported that the incidence of post‐COVID‐19 HAIs was around 12%.[1] Out of these, 57% were bacterial and 19% were fugal.[2] Although candidemia was the most common fungal infection, the Indian population witnessed the storm of “mucormycosis.”[2] The risk factors and the pathophysiology of post‐COVID‐19 mucormycosis are well described in medical literature.[2] Recently, we came across a case of “cerebral pheohyphomycosis (CH)” after COVID‐19.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
