Open Forum Infect Dis. 2021 Nov 6;9(2):ofab566. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofab566. eCollection 2022 Feb.

Abstract

We studied COVID-19 associated mucormycosis based on 17 cases reported nationwide and assessed the differences with India. They differed by frequencies of diabetes mellitus (47% in France versus up to 95% in India), hematological malignancies (35% versus 1%), anatomical sites (12% versus >80% rhino-orbito-cerebral) and prognosis (88% mortality versus <50%).
