Quite unlike the previous wave, we are witnessing the harrowing emergence of a deadly and serious morbidity inflicting condition diagnosed as mucormycosis in the current upsurge of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to Delta variant (B.1.617.2 strain) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2). Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by fungi belonging to the order Mucorales, and specifically Rhizopus oryzae species are by far the most common cause of infection.
