Title: A Fatal Case of Rhizopus azygosporus Pneumonia Following COVID-19 Cord-id: anax1tly Document date: 2021_2_28
ID: anax1tly
Snippet: We report a fatal case of Rhizopus azygosporus pneumonia in a 56-year-old man hospitalized for COVID-19 who had received methylprednisolone and tocilizumab. Although COVID-associated pulmonary aspergillosis has been widely documented, mucormycosis has been rarely reported. In this patient, receipt of two commonly used immunosuppressants likely contributed to mucormycosis risk, suggesting the need for vigilance in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
