Abstract
Dengue is a disease endemic to tropical countries such as India. In the past two years, cases of COVID-19 associated Mucormycosis have become a commonly encountered phenomenon. However, cases of dengue associated Mucormycosis have not found a significant mention in the literature yet. We, therefore, report two such cases in which Mucormycosis developed after recovery from Dengue fever and try to dig into the possible mechanism behind such an occurrence.
