Histopathologic findings for necrotic tissue samples from patients with mucormycosis after coronavirus disease, Pune, India. A) Hematoxylin and eosin stain shows nonpigmented, wide, thin-walled ribbonlike pleomorphic broad aseptate hyphae of mucormycosis (original magnification ×40). B) Periodic acid–Schiff stain shows pleomorphic broad aseptate hyphae of mucormycosis (original magnification ×40). C) Methenamine silver stain shows nonpigmented (hyaline), pauciseptate, ribbonlike hyphae with right-angled branching consistent with Mucorales genera (original magnification ×40).
