ABSTRACT:
The world is undergoing its biggest health crisis named coronavirus disease, which is associated with increased proinflammatory cytokine storm, which ultimately leads to various medical complications including acute respiratory distress syndrome. The treatment protocol was always controversial due to the excessive use of corticosteroids in aggressive pneumonia and associated hyperinflammatory conditions.The excessive use, misuse, and rampant use of steroids may lead to various coinfection like mucormycosis which is referred to as black fungus that manifests within the skin and also affects the lungs and brain which may be more fatal. It is necessary to have early diagnosis and management to tackle the severity of post covid coinfection.
