Abstract : The term mucormycosis encompasses a distinctive group of infections caused by fungi belonging to genera within the taxonomic order Mucorales, usually Rhizopus, Absidia, Mortierella, and Mucor. These fungi are widespread in nature, subsisting on decaying vegetation and diverse organic materials. Mucormycosis commonly labeled as ‘black fungus,’ a rare but potentially fatal fungal infection, caused by the mucormycetes, a group of molds, with Rhizopus and Mucor as the most common species. The etiology of the sudden rise appears to be multifactorial in nature with several hypothesis linking mucormycosis to severe Covid-19 patients who are immune compromised and/or have associated comorbidities. Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment is crucial as the condition can progress rapidly with fatal outcome. The treatment for this condition is based on a combination of antifungal medication and aggressive surgical debridement of necrotic tissue if necessary. The recommended anti-fungal drug is Liposomal Amphotericin B on a dose of 5 mg/kg/day.
