Risk of Mucormycosis

2021-05-20 20:00:07
My father aged 59, was in hospital on 17th April for covid. He used oxygen support during night as precaution. Steroid was 80mg methylpred per day. Thereafter 14 days of deflazacort 24mg post discharge. Today marks 24-25 days of discharge. His blood sugars are 100 fbs/135ppbs. Does he still carry the risk of catching mucormycosis?
