Abstract:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to immunosuppression, leaving patients vulnerable to secondary invasive fungal infection like mucormycosis. The present study aimed to determine whether there are any risk factors associated with mortality in mucormycosis among COVID-19 patients. Patients with COVID-19 diagnosed with mucormycosis who received treatment at University Hospitals were included in the study. Complete blood count (CBC), glycated hemoglobin (HBA1c), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin level, creatinine, ferritin levels, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer and histopathological observations were performed for all participants’ specimens. The number (N) of patients included in the study was 46. About 85 % (39/46) of patients had post-COVID-19 syndrome and the other 7 cases were in the active phase of the disease. CRP, serum ferritin, D-dimer, CRP/albumin ratio and CRP/absolute lymphocyte counts were statistically significant (P<0.05) within non-survivors as compared to survivors. After analysis of multivariate analysis that patients had oxygen support, while elevated CRP/albumin ratios were independent predictors of mortality in COVID-19 patients associated with mucormycosis. Mucormycosis can be caused by immunosuppression conditions associated with COVID-19 infection. Oxygen levels and C-reactive protein/albumin are independent predictors of mortality and morbidity in post COVID-19 patients
