  Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection of nose and paranasal sinuses by fungi from family Mucoracea, is usually seen in diabetic and immunocompromised patients. In patients with COVID-19, the early start of high dose steroids even in mild stage, the use of immunomodulators (Tocilizumab), longstanding oxygen therapy and previous uncontrolled diabetes mellitus are the important factors predisposing to this fulminant infection.
