摘要
Mucormycosis is becoming more common in patients infected with or recovering from COVID-19 under the current situation. However, there is a scarcity of research on a specific group of COVID-19 individuals who are predisposed to mucormycosis. As a result, a retrospective observational study was undertaken to assess the possible connection of mucormycosis with COVID-19. The goal was also to investigate the link between diabetes mellitus, mucormycosis and COVID-19. The occurrence and severity of the disease among the case records were assessed using signs and symptoms, investigations conducted during COVID-19, and serological test results. Patients were classified as previously known diabetics, recently diagnosed diabetics, or non-diabetics based on their history of pre-existing DM and HBA1c levels at the time of reporting for mucormycosis. The findings show that mild COVID-19-infected patients and non-diabetic patients have a high incidence of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM). As a result, all clinicians participating in the care of COVID-infected patients must be aware of the significant risk of secondary mucormycosis in the post-recovery phase, even in those with mild or moderate symptoms.
