A Prospective Study

Abstract Over a 2½-year period, 34 patients underwent therapeutic external ventricular drainage with a valve-regulated system. The mean duration of drainage was 16 days. There was no incidence of ventricular infection, nor was there blockage of the ventricular catheter requiring revision. Eventually, 13 patients required ventriculoperitoneal shunts. All survivors remained free from complications after more than 6 months of follow-up. The system proved safe and reliable in patients requiring prolonged ventricular drainage.

A Prospective Study

Recently an increase in the incidence of mucormycosis is noticed in COVID-19 cases. The main aim of this study is to present our experience of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients and thereby aid its early diagnosis and treatment. This is a prospective study of 12 cases diagnosed as Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis . Presentation of mucormycosis in COVID-19, their temporal association and outcome of treatment was studied. Pre-existing comorbidities were seen in 91.67% patients, Diabetes Mellitus (83.33%). Previous history of COVID-19 infection and treatment for the same in 41.67% cases, concomitant infection in 16.67% and asymptomatic undiagnosed covid (antibodies positive) was detected in 41.67%. All patients showed improvement in general and nasal condition (100%). Early diagnosis is must.
