ABSTRACT:
Covid 19 infection leads to reduced ciliary function, cytokine storm, thrombo-inflammation, microvascular coagulation and immune exhaustion. Hence, opportunistic infections such as mucormycosis are increasing in Covid affected patients. Covid infection has a tendency to worsen comorbid conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac disorders or even cause these life-threatening conditions in previously normal individuals. Corticosteroids used for the treatment of Covid puts the patients at risk of developing infections like mucormycosis since corticosteroids act as immune suppressors. At this juncture it is important to understand the pathophysiology, surgical/medical treatment as well the prosthetic rehabilitation of post covid rhino-orbito cerebral mucormycosis.
