摘要
Mucormycosis is an angioinvasive disease caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. In this article, three case reports of rhinocerebral mucormycosis developing after COVID-19 infection in a diabetic patient are presented. Early diagnosis and treatment of those high morbidity conditions are vital to better outcomes.
