ABSTRACT = {Mucormycosis or black fungus although a rare fungal infection but has potential to be lethal and thus requires immediate treatment. The immune system is weakened due to SARS-CoV-2 and the body becomes susceptible and vulnerable to other infections as people are   immune compromised. The immune system becomes weakened due to COVID-19 treatment especially in patients who are taking steroids making the body prone to attack by black fungus. As the black fungus cases are increasing in India, the country is facing shortage in medicaments in face of dual crisis. An epidemic of black fungus is sweeping India in the wake of a severe surge in COVID-19 cases. Experts are of the opinion that the cause is a combination of factors. These factors might include contaminated oxygen equipment and use of steroid drugs to treat certain COVID-19 patients.},
