Black fungus mucormycosis risk
I am otherwise healthy, but recd a dose of 120mg methylpred per day for 7 days in hospital from 9-16 APRIL.
Then recd 24mg deflazacort per day as discharge meds for 14 days.
Sugars are normal and it has been 45 days post discharge. Am I still at risk for Mucormycosis? Asking because of nose block which persists from 20days
