| Popis: | Background: Mucormycosis is a fatal and progressive condition that affects immunocompromised patients in the post-COVID state. Radiological assessment by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is useful to determine the severity and extent of the disease. Objective: The objective of this research is to evaluate mucormycosis in post-COVID patients using radiological investigations like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and also to study the extent of disease in patients with diabetes and with steroid/ immunosuppressant use. Methods: A prospective observational study was undertaken at Dr. D. Y. Patil Hospital and Medical College, Pimpri Pune from March-June 2021. All patients who presented with mucormycosis were either COVID-19 positive or recovered from COVID-19 infection. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed in these patients. Results: The association between the status of diabetes mellitus and extent of involvement, steroids/immunosuppressant use and extent of involvement was statistically significant with a p value of |
