Abstract

Introduction: Mucormycosis is a disease that is common in patients with a history of diabetes mellitus who have recently been infected with Covid-19, and it affects the nervous system more than other systems. This study was designed with the aim of examining the symptoms and complications of the nervous system in patients with mucormycosis.
Method: Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases between December 2019 and the first five months of 2020. The search terms were: Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2, olfactory disorder, loss of taste, mucormycosis, neurological manifestations, diabetes mellitus, neurological disorder, eye disease, thyroid disease, and diabetes complication.
Results: In the initial search, 1259 articles were extracted, after removing the duplicates and evaluating the title and abstract, the articles with the necessary conditions to participate in the present study were selected, and general conclusions were made based on information in the various selected articles.
Conclusion: Whether the findings of this study are sufficient to increase health literacy about mucormycosis and how much this information increases health literacy concerning mucormycosis should be determined in future studies. Given that the Internet is one of the most important sources of health knowledge in our society. Providing the correct information about the contents that are discussed in virtual spaces, especially about topics of interest to people such as traditional medicine and nutrition in the control of mucormycosis disease, can improve people's ability to evaluate the correctness or incorrectness of the information in these spaces.
