Figure 5. Waterfall plot showing the number of days between the diagnosis of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and COVID-19–associated mucormycosis (CAM). Each vertical line represents a case-patient. Red indicates late CAM (mucormycosis developing >8 days after COVID-19 diagnosis); black indicates early CAM (mucormycosis developing <7 days of COVID-19 diagnosis). Among early CAM cases, mucormycosis was diagnosed before (n = 8), concurrently with (n = 8), or after (n = 13) COVID-19 diagnosis. Dotted line represents the median duration (18 days) after COVID-19 diagnosis for the diagnosis of CAM.
