- COVID-associated mucormycosis (CAM) was a severe issue in India, particularly in Rajasthan, where patient numbers were unusually high compared to other regions, leading to an investigation into demographic and clinical factors.
- The study involved analyzing tissue specimens from suspected CAM patients through microscopy and culture methods, focusing on identifying the pathogens.
- Out of 324 patients, 215 were confirmed with CAM, with a 51.63% culture positivity rate, indicating Rhizopus arrhizus as the predominant pathogen and rhino-orbital-cerebral infections as the most common clinical manifestation.
