Expert opinion – Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the incidence of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM). Many states have declared the disease an epidemic and have made it notifiable. ROCM continues to be a challenge both to clinicians and patients. We have a stellar panel of experts, who are also part of the Tamilnadu mucormycosis advisory committee, who will be sharing pointers regarding the early diagnosis and challenges faced in the management of ROCM.
