Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and other immunosuppressive conditions such as neutropenia and corticosteroid therapy are known risk factors. A new risk factor for this infection is COVID-19 which facilitates mucormycosis by different mechanisms. The rhino-orbito-cerebral involvement is the most common form. Involvement of other anatomical regions may occur in rare situations. As we presented here, a 51-year-old woman presented with respiratory distress and subglottic lesion during COVID-19 (Delta variant) treatment which was diagnosed by histopathological examination as a subglottic mucormycosis postoperatively. The patient underwent tracheostomy and debridement of the necrotic tissues followed by antifungal treatment. New manifestations of COVID-19 are appearing over time. The association between coronavirus and mucormycosis of the laryngeal and airway region must be given serious consideration. Current guidelines recommend a combined medical and surgical approach for achieving the best outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omac075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]],"date-time":"2022-07-26T14:01:57Z","timestamp":1658844117000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Subglottic
