ABSTRACT
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019), illness with associated comorbidities and corticosteroid therapy makes the host immunocompromised and prone to opportunistic microbial infections. As the world continues to struggle with the pandemic of COVID-19, an increase in cases of opportunistic fungal infections have been reported from all over the world during the second wave of COVID-19 like aspergillosis, mucormycosis, and candidiasis. Scedosporium apiospermum is an emerging pathogen that is usually associated with mycetoma, pulmonary infection, and central nervous infections. It has been rarely associated with fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS). In this study, a rare case of FRS caused by S.apiospermum in an immunocompromised post-Covid-19 diabetic woman is reported.
