The Co-infection of Mild COVID-19 and Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis in a Patient Without Diabetes or Prior Steroid Use.

ABSTRACT

In a fast-evolving COVID-19 pandemic, co-infection with mucormycosis has been reported in some parts of the world. It is still unknown whether one of the either diseases makes the patient susceptible to developing the other. The co-occurrence of them significantly elevates the mortality risk and is commonly reported in immunocompromised individuals. We herein report a case of COVID-19 infection with rhinocerebral mucormycosis without prior steroid use or underlying immunosuppressive diseases.
