Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) predisposes patients to bacterial and fungal superinfections due to the impairment of the immunological system. Among the associated opportunistic fungal infections, mucormycosis is one of the least frequent but with the highest mortality. We describe two cases of mucormycosis in two kidney transplant recipients, while they were hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, with rhinosinusal and musculoskeletal involvement, respectively.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)可导致患者的免疫系统受损,从而易发生细菌和真菌感染。在相关的机会性真菌感染中,毛霉菌病是最不常见但死亡率最高的一种。我们描述了两例肾移植受者在因 SARS-CoV-2 肺炎住院期间发生毛霉菌病的病例,分别累及鼻窦和骨骼肌肉。
