Eye Redness
How to differentiate between mucormycosis and conjuctivities? Actually, I had covid last month but I was asymptomatic and was on home isolation. On 26th April, I was negative. But from last 4-5 days I was having eye irritation and now today morning my eyes has gone red. I'm not a diabetic patient nor I was on steroid. Any suggestion?
I agree, its a rare disease, however recently a spurt is seen mostly in people on immunocompromised, on steroids and diabetics. Redness in eye alone cannot happen with mucormycosis. Swelling and or double vision, decrease in vision, nasal discharge with blood tinge or pain and headache might suggest mucormycosis. Suggest ophthalmologist as well as examination with ENT consultant
Next Steps
Go for physical examination
