ABSTRACT
Mucormycosis is a progressive, opportunistic fungal infection with high risk of mortality. Rampant use of steroids in the treatment coronavirus disease 2019 creates a fertile environment for mucor growth. Perioperative challenges for the anesthesiologist in a patient having post-coronavirus disease mucormycosis include increased risks of arterial and venous thromboembolism, poor glycemic control and myocardial dysfunction, adrenal insufficiency from corticosteroid use, pulmonary dysfunction, and residual neuromuscular weakness. So, a complete biochemical workup of renal functions, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, electrolyte, coagulation profile, optimization of blood glucose, and pulmonary function should be done.
