COVID-19-associated mucormycosis - "The Black fungus" with associated invasive aspergillosis and actinomycosis infection: Series of 5 cases in the Indian scenario
Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2023 Oct-Dec;66(4):823-828. doi: 10.4103/ijpm.ijpm_507_22.ABSTRACTCOVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been studied and reported widely since November 2019, after its first case was detected in Wuhan, China. It has proven to be a fatal disease worldwide. COVID-19 causes severe disease in patients with immunosuppression and has always been associated with high mortality in such patients. Immunocompromised patients are always at a higher risk of getting co-infections too, and the same is true with COVID-19. It predisposes to the development of many fungal infections of which, mucormycosis is one of th...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTActinomycosis is common in the head and neck region but rarely occurs in the nasal septum. A 75-year-old male patient with an edentulous maxilla, hypertension, and diabetes developed actinomycosis confined to the nasal septum and showed mucosal necrosis and septal bony sequestration. The patient underwent surgery and medication therapy; this case was reported using endoscopic photographs and radiographs and a literature review was conducted to provide further context and understanding of the condition of the patien...
