    Abstract

    Fungi belonging to the Mucoracea family are usually saprophytic. Mucormycosis disease is lately becoming prevalent since the pandemic of COVID –19. Immunosuppression and immunomodulation have long been postulated as potential risk factors for opportunistic systemic fungal infections. Examination of histopathological features, direct microscopy using potassium hydroxide ( KOH ) and fungal culture are considered to be the traditional diagnostic approaches for Mucormycosis disease.
