Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Post-COVID-19 mucormycosis, also known as "black fungus," is a rare but serious fungal infection that has gained attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. We present an interesting case report of a patient who developed Bi-jaw Mucor mycosis following recovery from COVID-19. This case highlights the importance of early recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of this potentially fatal complication. We also review the literature on post-COVID-19 mucormycosis, its risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management strategies.
