Mucormycosis is an angioinvasive infection caused by Zygomycosis in the order of Mucorales. It mainly affected immunocompromised individuals followed risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, stem cell transplantation, organ hematological malignancy, and more intake steroids. Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis, pulmonary cutaneous gastrointestinal disseminated mucormycosis are most common types. ...

Mucormycosis (Black fungus) is a designated as rare, rapidly progressive fatal disease of immunocompromised caused by saprophytic fungus family mucorales. Early diagnosis with prompt medical and surgical treatment the only tool available. Rhino-orbito-cerebral most common subtype. In India we saw sudden rise in mucormycosis cases during second wave COVID 19. This necessitated systematic review ...

Mucormycosis is a disease caused by the fungi belonging to order mucorales which affects mainly immunocompromised patients. These are found in soil and decomposition of plants animals from sporangiospores released air then inhaled resulting infection based on host resistance. The cases increasing conditions with malnutrition, diabetes, steroid therapy acidosis. After aspergillosis candidiasis, ...

Background: Mucormycosis is lethal angio invasive fungal infection affecting mainly the immunocompromised individuals. During second wave of COVID-19 pandemic there was rise in number rhino-orbito-cerebral (ROCM) cases both affected patients and who recovered from infection. This study conducted to know anatomical site extent involvement head neck region vaccinated unvaccinated Methods: A retro...

BACKGROUND Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis(ROCM) is an invasive fungal infection that usually occurs in immunocompromised patients and sometimes presents as orbital apex syndrome(OAS) initially. It is rapidly fatal without an early diagnosis and treatment. We report the cases of invasive ROCM presenting with OAS initially in order to raise the attention of clinicians. METHODS We retrospect...
