Rhino-orbital Mucormycosis as a complication of severe COVID-19 pneumonia
<p dir="ltr">Mucormycosis has multiple clinical phenotypes, which are more common in immunocompromised patients, especially those with diabetes mellitus. Debilitating rhino-orbital-cerebral and pulmonary infections by far represent the most typical clinical phenotypes associated with...
