In India, the peak of SARS-CoV-2 infections in May 2021 was paralleled by an outbreak of rhino-oculo-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) — a fungal infection affecting the nose, eyes and brain. This outbreak provided a unique opportunity to study the neurological manifestations of ROCM and to investigate new treatments for the condition.
