Mucormycosis is seen mainly in those CoViD recovered patients who were severely ill or were diabetic or immunocompromised (like cancer patients, patients on cancer chemotherapy, organ recepients who are on immunosuppresants etc)
It usually presents without much gap after discharge.
Next Steps
Check the nose for any blackish secretions or bleeding, eye pain, loss of sensation over the nose and cheeks.
