The epidemiology of mucormycosis has changed in recent times with the increase in incidence, identification of new causative agents, and predisposing factors. The clinical spectrum of mucormycosis includes rhinocerebral, sinopulmonary, cutaneous, and disseminated forms. Cutaneous mucormycosis is an emerging infectious disease especially in post COVID-19 era. Cutaneous mucormycosis can be of two varieties: primary cutaneous and secondary cutaneous. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis is caused by direct inoculation of spores at the site of local trauma resulting in necrotic ulcers, especially, in immunosuppressed patient. Secondary cutaneous mucormycosis results from either dissemination or local invasion to the skin from a rhinocerebral form. The existing data on mucocutaneous mucormycosis is sparse especially in India. Herein, we present a case series describing the demographic factors, predisposing factors, clinical presentation, management of unique cases of mucocutaneous mucormycosis and its association with COVID-19 infection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/idoj.idoj_364_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T07:16:01Z","timestamp":1653462961000},"page":"375-379","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Case Series of Mucocutaneous Mucormycosis and its Risk Factors among SARS-CoV-2 Patients"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Aakanksha","family":"Arora","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alpana","family":"Mohta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bhikam Chand","family":"Ghiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajesh Dutt","family":"Mehta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.3390\/jof5010026","article-title":"Global epidemiology of mucormycosis","volume":"5","author":"Prakash","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Fungi (Basel"},{"key":"R2-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.1590\/abd1806-4841.20176614","article-title":"Cutaneous mucormycosis","volume":"92","author":"Castrej\u00f3n-P\u00e9rez","year":"2017","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol"},{"key":"R3-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"442","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215121000992","article-title":"Post coronavirus disease mucormycosis:A deadly addition to the pandemic spectrum","volume":"135","author":"Sharma","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"},{"key":"R4-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102146","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dsx.2021.05.019","article-title":"Mucormycosis in COVID-19:A systematic review of cases reported worldwide and in India","volume":"15","author":"Singh","year":"2021","journal-title":"Diabetes Metab Syndr"},{"key":"R5-11-20240828","first-page":"1","article-title":"Current understanding in the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2-associated rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis:A comprehensive review","volume":"16","author":"Jose","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Maxillofac Oral Surg"},{"key":"R6-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"554","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2020.02.026","article-title":"COVID-19 spike-host cell receptor GRP78 binding site prediction","volume":"80","author":"Ibrahim","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Infect"},{"key":"R7-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1914","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI42164","article-title":"The endothelial cell receptor GRP78 is required for mucormycosis pathogenesis in diabetic mice","volume":"120","author":"Liu","year":"2010","journal-title":"Clin Invest"},{"key":"R8-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1417","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30937-5","article-title":"Endothelial cell infection and endotheliitis in COVID-19","volume":"395","author":"Varga","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"R9-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.1007\/s00592-009-0109-4","article-title":"Binding of SARS coronavirus to its receptor damages islets and causes acute diabetes","volume":"47","author":"Yang","year":"2010","journal-title":"Acta Diabetol"},{"key":"R10-11-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2280","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI82744","article-title":"Bicarbonate correction of ketoacidosis alters host-pathogen interactions and alleviates mucormycosis","volume":"126","author":"Gebremariam","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Clin Invest"}],"container-title":["Indian Dermatology Online Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/idoj.idoj_364_21","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T14:55:08Z","timestamp":1787756108000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/idoj.idoj_364_21"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,5]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/idoj.idoj_364_21","relation":{},"ISSN":["2229-5178"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2229-5178","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,5]]}}}
