76% Informative
Mucormycosis is a potentially fatal fungal infection that typically affects people with weakened immune systems, such as those with diabetes or severe COVID-19 .
It can also affect individuals who have a low number of white blood cells, a type of immune cell that normally fights infections.
The World Health Organization estimates that cases of the condition range between 0.005 and 1.7 per million people worldwide.
The burden of the disease is much higher in specific countries such as India , where there are approximately 80 times more cases.
