From: COVID-19 associated Mucormycosis among ICU patients: risk factors, control, and challenges
Ways for pathogen entry and common clinical presentation. Mucor can enter the body through spore inhalation from environment and direct contact of spores with skin burn, injury or trauma and cause cutaneous mucormycosis. After inhalation, spores germinate in sinus and spread to other sites and different organs causing different types of clinical manifestations as rhino-orbital cerebral, ocular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal or disseminated mucormycosis
