Coronavirus disease 2019 makes patients more susceptible to superinfection of fungal disease as a consequence of immunological system impairment. Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that is rare but has a high mortality rate and mostly affects patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus or those receiving corticosteroids.
Here, we present a case of post-coronavirus disease 2019 mucormycosis in a 37-year-old Persian male presenting with multiple periodontal abscess with purulent discharge and necrosis of maxillary bone (without oroantral communication). Surgical debridement following antifungal therapy was the treatment of choice.
Early diagnosis and immediate referral are the cornerstone of comprehensive treatment.
由于免疫系统受损,2019 年冠状病毒病使患者更容易受到真菌感染的二次感染。毛霉菌病是一种罕见但死亡率很高的真菌感染,主要影响糖尿病控制不佳或接受皮质类固醇治疗的患者。
在这里,我们报告了一名 37 岁的波斯男性,在感染 2019 年冠状病毒病后出现毛霉菌病,表现为多发性牙周脓肿伴脓性分泌物和上颌骨坏死(无口鼻相通)。抗真菌治疗后行外科清创术是首选治疗方法。
早期诊断和及时转诊是综合治疗的基石。
