Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may manifest as a variety of disease patterns, ranging from mild to life-threatening pneumonia. Mucormycosis has been suspected to cause significant morbidity in infected people since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals who require hospitalization and intensive care are more vulnerable, as they have reached an advanced stage of their disease. Investigators will discuss the major risk factors, ocular presentation, and outcome of mucormycosis in individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 in this study. From August 2021 to January 2022, a cross-sectional descriptive multicenter investigation would be conducted on patients with biopsy-confirmed mucormycosis and RTPCR confirmed COVID19. Demographic data, the time interval between COVID19 and mucormycosis, underlying systemic disorders, clinical characteristics, disease course, and outcomes would be analyzed.
Investigators will achieved the following data from the participants: 1. Demographic 2. Past medical/habitual history 3. COVID-19 status and related risk factors 4. Mucormycosis status and related risk factors 5. Ocular examination and imaging 6. Follow-up
