Rhino-pulmonary Mucormycosis in Post COVID-19 patient

Abstract

Invasive fungal sinusitis is a rising concern among individuals with COVID 19, as the recent trend shows a three-fold increase in cases during the second wave of the pandemic. Mucormycosis caused by the fungi of the Mucorales group can manifest with florid clinical presentations depending on the various sites it can involve, the most common being Rhino-orbital-cerebral Mucormycosis. Current literature review reports few cases of pulmonary mucormycosis and even rare is the presentation with concurrent sinonasal involvement. Here we report a case of Rhino-pulmonary mucormycosis in a Post Covid Diabetic patient.
