Topical Antifungal Therapy in COVID Associated Mucormycosis: A new hope?

A Multi-arm, parallel Randomised Control Trial to compare the efficacy of 0.1% w/w Liposomal Amphotericin-B gel with 10% w/w povidine-iodine and saline nasal douching in preventing revision surgery in patients with COVID associated mucormycosis and to develop AIIMS Bhubaneswar Mucormycosis Endoscopic Scoring System (AMESS) for quantification of response to treatment
