Managing Mucormycosis: A Stepladder Approach (2023 AMW)
2023 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
Sinonasal mucormycosis is a deadly disease which can lead to a lethal outcome if not treated promptly and correctly. Although the presenters were already managing the disease at their own respective hospitals , during the pandemic of COVID , the numbers of the mucormycosis patients became manyfold in a very short span of time. The huge number of patients started draining the surgical and medical resources at such a speed that the existing infrastructre was not able to support. Admist those tough times the presenters found an opportunity to observe and manage a large number of patients and thus make their treatment protocols more cost effective and practical. In this symposium we intend to pool the knowledge of all these experts and present before the audience a comprehensive and step wise approach to this deadly disease. The audience can expect a complete overview of sinonasal mucormycosis from clinical symptoms to diagnosis and to the adequate management.
