Abstract

Objective: Moulds called mucormycetes are the source of the uncommon but dangerous fungal infection known as mucormycosis, or zygomycosis. Method: Immunocompromised people, such as those with untreated diabetes, haematologic malignancies, and immunological dysregulation brought on by COVID-19, are the main victims. Results: Rapid progression, angioinvasion, tissue necrosis, and a high death rate if left untreated are the disease's hallmarks. Novelty: This study highlights the emerging association of mucormycosis with COVID-19-induced immunological dysregulation, emphasizing its significance in recent patient populations and the urgent need for clinical awareness.
