COVID-19 Tanısı ile Takipliyken Akut Mukormikoz Gelişen İki Olgu

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused an on-going pandemic since March 2020. It has been shown with clinical studies that patients with chronic illnesses, notably diabetes mellitus, are under high risk of complications including death. Mucormycosis is invasive and fulminant even though it is rare. Although there are numerous studies existing in the literature about COVID-19 cases with invasive Aspergillosis, there are a couple of studies reported about COVID-19 cases with mucormycosis. In this study, it was aimed to present two cases of COVID-19 with diabetes and acute rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of mucormycosis is crucial to decrease morbidity and mortality.
