Abstract

Mucormycosis is a deep seated systemic fungal infection. The rise in the cases of mucormycosis during COVID-19 is alarming. This review assesses different aspects to identify and treat mucormycosis. Association of COVID-19 and mucormycosis can be prevented by early diagnosis. Conservative treatment is possible if the fungal infection is detected in early stage. However, surgical methods would imply if perforation and widespread infection involving the bone is present.
