Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the features, clinical characteristics, and species diversity among patients admitted to referral Hospitals for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and mucormycosis in Tehran, Iran, and the relationship between seasonal and species diversity was considered.
Methods: Confirmed COVID-19 patients with a positive reverse-transcriptase real-time (rRT-PCR) test for SARS-CoV2 were primarily included based on clinically suspected mucormycosis infection and confirmed by histopathology and mycology examination of biopsy specimens. The PCR technique was performed by the amplification of the high-affinity iron permease 1 (FTR1) gene for identification and discrimination between Rhizopus arrhizus and non- Rhizopus arrhizus isolates.
Background: Brain abscesses caused by sinonasal infections have become more common during the coronavirus pandemic, particularly due to the increase in sinonasal mucormycosis. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic endonasal brain abscess drainage as a therapeutic technique for these cases.
Methods: Clinical outcomes and retrospective evaluations were performed in patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal brain abscess drainage between May 2019 and August 2022.
Introduction: Since the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic, several articles have reported the co-existence of mucormycosis and COVID-19. This study aimed to distinguish the characteristics of COVID-19-associated rhinocerebral mucormycosis.
Methods: In this case series, 18 patients with COVID-19-associated rhinocerebral mucormycosis and unique clinical manifestations and outcomes, who were referred to Amiralam Hospital, a tertiary otorhinolaryngology center, Tehran, Iran, during the COVID-19 era, were reported.
Background: COVID-19 associated mucormycosis (CAM) has been known as one of the most severe post-COVID morbidities.
Objectives: To describe CAM cases, identify possible risk factors, and report outcomes of patients.
Methods: This retrospective study was performed in Amir-Alam Hospital, Tehran, Iran between February 2020 and September 2021.
Aim: The most prevalent complication of Draf III surgery is recurrence of frontal recess stenosis. The aim of this study is to introduce a method to prevent closure of the recess.
Type Of The Study And Setting: This is a retrospective study that was conducted in Ear, Nose and Throat Referral Center, Amir'Alam Hospital, Tehran.
