Abstract
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus-2 is a novel coronavirus, belonging to the family coronaviridae and is now known to be responsible for the outbreak of a series of recent acute atypical respiratory infections originating in Wuhan, China, termed as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and has been declared a pandemic by WHO on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 infections may be associated with a wide range of bacterial and fungal co-infections. We report the study of 4 cases, who in our hospital, developed Rhino-orbital mucormycosis, who were diagnosed as COVID-19 positive, with or without associated co-morbidities, involving all age groups. Extensive use of steroids may lead to development or exacerbation of a pre-existing fungal disease in patients with COVID-19 infections.
