A retrospective study of risk factors of Mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients at a dedicated COVID hospital

Over use of steroids, uncontrolled blood sugar levels, oxygen therapy, long hospital stay, and ICU procedures and ventilators also contribute to the increased occurrence of post-COVID Mucormycosis. Hot and humid climate favors the growth of such molds. [...]many studies have found that hospitals in our country have very heavy mold spore count. [...]steroid-induced hyperglycemia may also be an important risk factor for COVID-associated Mucormycosis. [...]the present retrospective cross-sectional study was planned to study and analyze the risk factors of COVID 19 associated Mucormycosis infection.
