Loosening of Teeth, an Unusual Presentation of Mucormycosis in COVID-19 Infected Patients
Abstract Aim of our study was to report unusual presentation of mucormycosis in patients, who were recovered from COVID-19 infection. This was a prospective observational study, undertaken at Ravindra Nath Tagore Medical College, Udaipur, India, over a period of last 3 months (April-June 2021). All patients with maxillofacial and dental mucormycosis were included in the study. All patients either have COVID-19 infection or recovered from it. Eight (40%) patients had history of use of corticosteroids for COVID1-19 infection, fifteen patients had either known case of diabetes or newly diagnosed diabetes with uncontrolled blood sugar at the time of presentation, three (15%) patients were in pre-diabetic state with HbA1c between 6.0 and 6.5% and two patients had no diabetes. None of patients had diabetic ketoacidosis and only one patient reported complete loss of vision with dental symptoms. There was unusual presentation of mucormycosis in form of loosening of teeth in uncontrolled diabetes. Injudicious use of steroids and uncontrolled diabetes are two main risk factors, so eyes should be kept on both of these..
