• W4384200713 abstract "Rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is an important infectious disease encountered in large numbers in this recent post-COVID-19 era. An alteration in the defense immune system during COVID-19 illness; in the presence of uncontrolled hyperglycemia has led to the new epidemic of ROCM, especially in developing nations such as India. This case series of thirteen patients illustrates the various clinical presentations, laboratory parameters, imaging features and outcomes of patients with ROCM admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. In our case series, a total of 13 newly diagnosed cases of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis were studied. A history of COVID-19 illness was observed in seven cases (53.8%) with a mean duration of mucormycosis after 25 ± 3.6 days, the use of steroids during COVID-19 illness was seen in 5 cases (38.5%), and oxygen therapy was given in 4 cases (30.8%). A comorbid state in the form of diabetes mellitus was present in 12 cases (92.3%) with a mean duration of 16.69 months, with an important finding of seven cases (53.85%) having new-onset diabetes; hypertension was present in three cases (23.1%). Magnetic resonance imaging of paranasal sinuses showed involvement of multiple sinuses in all 13 cases (100%), including maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses, with frontal involvement in 12 cases (92.3%), sphenoidal involvement in 11 cases (84.6%), symmetric involvement in 9 cases (69.2%), mastoiditis in four cases (30.8%), maxillary space involvement in four cases (30.8%), and palatal involvement in one case (7.7%). On statistical analysis, there was a significant association of new-onset diabetes, optic neuropathy and high C reactive protein with blindness (P-value < 0.05) in our study. However, there were no statistically significant association for the involvement of nervous system in our study. Multispecialty approach treatment was given in the liposomal amphotericin B therapy in all the patients along with thorough endo-nasal debridement done in all cases, transcutaneous retrobulbar amphotericin B in six cases (46.2%) with exenteration done in seven patients (53.9%). At 3 months of follow-up, there was substantial clinical improvement in all cases. There should be definite emphasis on high suspicion of mucor clinically for early diagnosis and aggressive management at the initial state of diagnosis for better outcomes. The need for sustained proper glycemic control during the COVID-19 era along with judicious use of steroids and public awareness of early symptoms and manifestations of mucor can curb the magnitude of such potentially opportunistic epidemics to a substantial rate. New-onset diabetes mellitus, optic neuropathy and high C reactive protein (>50 mg/L) showed statistically significant association with blindness. The longer the infection remains undetected, the greater the devastation ROCM can impose, of which blindness is an important hazard." @default.
