COVID 19 and Nutrition in Mucormycosis (Black Fungus)

Abstract

Mucormycosis or black fungus is usually a rare but life-threatening infection resulting from commonly distributed fungi belongingto the Mucorale orders. The disease was previously known as zygomycosis, since Rhizopus species, such as Rhizopus arrhizus, Rhizopus microsporus, and Rhizopus oryza were more isolated from infected patients than Mucor (Chegini et al., 2020, Spellberg, 2017)
