Incidental finding of aml in a case of mucormycosis during the covid-19 pandemic in india: a case report

Mucormycosis is an uncommon but severe invasive fungal infection caused by molds in the order Mucorales. Mucormycosis typically affects persons with immunocompromising conditions such as a hematologic malignancy, stem cell or solid organ transplantation, or uncontrolled diabetes.(8) COVID-19 might increase mucormycosis risk because of COVID-19–induced immune dysregulation or associated treatments such as corticosteroids and immunomodulatory drugs (e.g., tocilizumab or baricitinib) that impair host defenses against molds .(9)
