Till when one is at risk for mucor

2021-05-21 10:05:38
Some people say it's seen only 2-3 weeks after hospital discharge. Some people say it can happen till two months. Left IV steroids 35 days ago, and oral steroids 20 days ago. Blood sugar is normal as of now (100/140). No weakness in body. Is there still a risk of contracting mucormycosis?
