Results: In present study we found that the incidence of
mucormycosis is more in the age group above 45 years i.e.
78(78%). Mucormycosis is mostly seen in the males more
than female i.e. 77(77%). Majority of 39(39.0%) patients
were diagnosed with mucormycosis within 30 days of
discharge and 10(10%) patients were diagnosed with
mucormycosis within 3 months of discharge. Out of 100,
96(96.0%) patients went for the operative procedure. The
mean of WHOQOL- Physical Health Domain Scores for
the patients was 42.99. The Mean WHOQOLPsychological Domain Scores for the patients was 46.06.
The mean Social Relationship and Environment score
were 49.62 & 58.03 respectively.
Conclusion: We concluded that there was higher impact
of Quality of Life in Post- mucormycosis patient. However
the impact was also affected by many other factors, such
as age, comorbidity, severity of illness of patients and the
impact is not reduced considerably as time goes by (i.e.
even after two months). The Quality of Life in PostMucormycosis Patient in term of Physical Health and
Psychological health is most affected due to surgical
