Oral mucormycosis in post-COVID-19 patients: A case series

The rise of mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients is predisposed by indiscriminate intake of corticosteroids, poorly controlled diabetes, injury, prolonged neutropenia, organ transplant, hematopoietic malignancies, prolonged stays in the intensive care unit, and due to nosocomial infection. Oral lesions seen in COVID-19 patients are more probably caused by co-infections, adverse reactions, and immunocompromised conditions instead of direct COVID-19 infection. We would like to report a case series of four patients who had oral mucormycosis after the COVID-19 recovery period.
