One of the most common complication of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring high flow oxygen, ventilator support, corticosteroids and other supportive therapies. Opportunistic aggressive fungal infection with Mucormycosis, although an uncommon entity otherwise, has been on rise in this pandemic especially in patients with chronic underlying illnesses. One such case of rhino-orbital Mucormycosis in a background of uncontrolled hyperglycaemia presented in the hospital and the histopathological examination of the tissues from ethmoidal sinus and frontal recess showed invasive necro-inflammatory infection by numerous Mucormycosis hyphae. Keywords: COVID-19; mucormycosis; rhino-orbital.
新型冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）最常见的并发症之一是急性呼吸窘迫综合征，需要高流量吸氧、呼吸机支持、皮质类固醇和其他支持治疗。机会性侵袭性真菌感染，如毛霉菌病，虽然在其他情况下并不常见，但在这场大流行中呈上升趋势，特别是在患有慢性潜在疾病的患者中。本文报告了一例在未控制的高血糖背景下发生的鼻-眶型毛霉菌病，对筛窦和额隐窝组织的组织学检查显示，大量毛霉菌菌丝引起侵袭性坏死性炎症感染。关键词：COVID-19；毛霉菌病；鼻-眶型。
