Abstract
The major outbreak of Corona virus disease COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 had brought about 4.55 million deaths and had shaken the health care system all over the world. From the year 2020 the recovered COVID-19 patients had started to develop microbial infection, most predominantly fungal infection in which Mucormycosis gained immediate attention as it has worsen the mortality rate in humans. In the present study of 53 COVID-19 recovered patients presented with microbial infection, the analysis of frequency distribution of fungal infection preponderantly with Rhizopus oryzae, followed by Aspergillus and Candida species.
