During September-December 2020, we conducted a multicenter retrospective study across India to evaluate epidemiology and outcomes among cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-associated mucormycosis (CAM). Among 287 patients, 187 (65.2%) had CAM; CAM prevalence was 0.27% hospitalized COVID-19 patients. We noted 2.1-fold rise in during the period compared with 2019. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus most common underlying non-CAM only 32.6% COVID-19-related hypoxemia improper glucocorticoid use...
