Abstrakt:	Introduction: The objective of the study was to describe the incidence, clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome of patients with rhinocerebral coronavirus disease 2019-associated mucormycosis (CAM). Materials and Methods: We performed an unicentric observational study. A total of 113 cases of CAM were evaluated from January 2021 to June 2021. We described the overall incidence of CAM in Nagpur district up to June 2021, the clinical presentation of CAM, the subtype of CAM, the laboratory diagnosis, the type of surgical management in CAM, the pre-operative and 3-month post-operative C-reactive protein marker values, the post-operative healing and complications and the mortality rate. Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.8 years. Rhinomaxillary subtype was the most common. All patients underwent medical as well as surgical intervention as the treatment modality. There was mortality in two patients. Discussion: Study highlights the need for physicians to closely monitor coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, especially severe cases with pre-existing diabetes/receiving corticosteroid therapy and the need for patient education as early diagnosis and prompt treatment leads to better prognosis. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest. (Copyright: © 2024 Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery.)
