Common Manifestation

With increasing incidence of Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Virus 2(SARS -CoV -2) in India, there has been growing reports of super infections in post covid 19 period. Long COVID refers to persistence of COVID19 symptoms for weeks to months. While most common manifestation of long COVID is fatigue and ill health, it may lead to development of life-threatening complications like Pulmonary Mucormycosis. We report a case of 54 year young, non-diabetic previously healthy male who had moderate COVID19 treated with low dose steroids and recovered completely, only to present with hemoptysis 3 months later on High Resolution Computed Tomography Scan of the Chest and Rhizopus fungi on bronchoalveolar lavage confirming Post Covid Pulmonary Mucormycosis in non-immunocompromised host. Patient was managed with dual antifungal therapy intravenous Liposomal Amphotericin B and Posaconazole for 3 weeks, followed by oral Posaconazole. J MEDICINE 2021; 22: 150-154

Absence of the round window as a congenital defect is a rare entity that causes a conductive hearing loss. To the best of our knowledge, isolated and nonsyndromal round window absence has only been reported 3 times; the diagnoses were made during surgery. We are reporting on another case that was diagnosed before operation by virtual endoscopy of the middle ear during a high-resolution computed tomography scan. Although this new technique requires further validation, it may be an alternative to surgery as a means of confirming this rare diagnosis.
