Chronic kidney disease and sudden (acute) kidney impairment can increase the chances of deaths in patients with Covid associated mucormycosis, a collaborative study of Pune doctors has revealed.
The most commonly known factor for contracting mucormycosis in recovering Covid patients is the combination of uncontrolled diabetes and the use of Steroids. Though diabetes is the predisposing factor to contracting mucormycosis in Covid patients, the doctors have not found its association with mortality. The impact of diabetes on mortality in patients with Covid associated mucormycosis (CAM) an invasive fungal infection needs further evaluation in a more extensive study, the doctors have underlined.
