Abstract We performed a case–control study across 25 hospitals in India for the period of January–June 2021 to evaluate reasons an COVID-19–associated mucormycosis (CAM) outbreak. investigated whether COVID-19 treatment practices (glucocorticoids, zinc, tocilizumab, and others) were associated with CAM. included 1,733 cases CAM 3,911 age-matched controls. found cumulative glucocorticoid dose (odds ratio [OR] 1.006, 95% CI 1.004–1.007) zinc supplementation (OR 2.76, 2.24–3.40), along elevated C-reactive protein 1.004, 1.002–1.006), host factors (renal transplantation [OR 7.58, 3.31–17.40], diabetes mellitus 6.72, 5.45–8.28], diabetic ketoacidosis during 4.41, 2.03–9.60]), rural residence 2.88, 2.12–3.79), significantly Mortality rate at 12 weeks was 32.2% (473/1,471). emphasize judicious use therapies optimal glycemic control prevent

Invasive fungal diseases are common complications in critically ill patients and those with significant underlying imbalanced immune systems. Fungal co-, and/or super-infections emerging have become a rising concern within the last few years. In Europe, cases of candidiasis aspergillosis dominate, followed by mucormycosis India. Epidemiological studies show an increasing trend incidence all three entities. Parallel to this, shift pathogens is observed. More non-albicans Candida infections cryptic species on rise; may cover intrinsic resistance azoles other antifungal drugs. The recent COVID-19 pandemic led significantly invasive among hospitalized patients.
