ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease 2019 increases transplant recipients' susceptibility to rare opportunistic infections as a consequence of the impairment that COVID-19 can cause in the immune system. Mucormycosis is a rare complication but has a high risk of fatal outcome. A 50-year-old woman who received a kidney transplant 10 years previously was admitted to the hospital with COVID-19. During follow-up by the inpatient service, the patient developed pain, edema, and proptosis in the right eye. She was diagnosed with rhino-orbitalcerebral mucormycosis. This is the first reported case of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis in a renal transplant recipient with COVID-19 infection.
