Abstract
ROCM is an invasive fungal infection that has seen a substantial rise in the post covid-19 patients. Here we present an intriguing case of ROCM existing as a coinfection with MDR-TB. The purpose of this manuscript is to highlight the dilemma faced by the clinicians whether to take the risks associated with standard treatment protocols of mucormycosis contraindicated due to coexisting MDR-TB or to play safe and face the consequences of inadequate management.
