Abstract
Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that occurs primarily in immunocompromised individuals, usually affecting the rhino-orbital areas followed by the lungs. This case report presents renal mucormycosis in a young man after COVID-19 pneumonia that escalates the need for regular follow-up of COVID-19 patients. Post-COVID-19 fungal infections are on a steep rise, and the increased use of steroids and immune modulators for COVID-19-associated immune dysregulation and cytokine syndrome increases the risk among patients treated for COVID-19.
