Abstract

As India faced a combined threat from mucormycosis and COVID 19 early diagnosis and appropriate treatment played an important role in reducing the morbidity and mortality due to the fungal infections. The current case study helped us in understanding the need to confirm the diagnosis before starting the antifungals which are highly nephrotoxic and they also helped us in the follow-up of the patient post-surgery.
