Retrospective study of histomorphology of mucormycosis seen in covid 19 patient with special comment on angioinvasion.

Introduction: COVID 19 infection has caused a pandemic across the globe for continuous 2-3 years as it started its journey in Huan city of china in 2019, hence it got its name as COVID 19. Aims and Objectives: To assess the fungal infections (mucormycosis, Apergillus and candida ) in post covid patients. Total 59 cases of COVID Methodology: 19 infections with fungal infection were included. Out of 59 cases, 46 cases showed mucormycosis, 7 sh Results: owed aspergillus and 6 cases showed mixed infection (> one species of fungal organism). Discussion: Most commonly the fungal infection occurs in the paranasal sinuses. Usually such patient's presents with severe headache, blurring of vision and overlying skin discoloration. The best non invasive modality for diagnosis is the CT scan of paranasal sinus. It shows diffuse thickening of sinus mucosa with irregular surface and bone erosion particularly orbital bones. It leads to invasion into the orbital cavity as well as with cranial cavity which has 100% mortality. Fungal infections Conclusion: in COVID 19 patients are dreadful and it causes high mortality. Most common fungal infection is Mucormycosis followed by Apsergillus and Candida.
