Imaging spectrum of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis secondary to COVID-19 infection: a reporting checklist.

In recent times, India has been in the midst of a notifiable epidemic of mucormycosis (a rare angio-invasive fungal infection), within the ongoing global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Epidemiological studies have reported the estimated prevalence of mucormycosis to be around 70 times higher in India as compared to the global data, even in the pre-COVID era. However, in the last 3 months, our city witnessed an unprecedented surge in cases of post-COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral (ROC) mucormycosis.
