Abstract
Mucormycosis recently known with the term as black fungus belongs to the Zygomycetes family. It is a filamentous non-septate fungus. Mucormycosis is not a novel disease, although it is becoming more well-known as a result of the extensive transmission of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis. COVID-19 is currently undergoing a catastrophic phase, which is being exacerbated by the devastating spread of mucormycosis. Mucormycosis identifies the target site by exploiting conditions such as immunocompromised health, steroid therapy, and diabetes that predispose patients to infection. Mucormycosis is more prevalent in India due to the relatively high percentage of diabetics in the population causing cutaneous mucormycosis, pulmonary mucormycosis, rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis, and gastrointestinal mucormycosis. It is a potentially fatal condition, and this review will provide an overview of the causative organism and its effects on human lives.
