Abstract

Acute invasive fungal sinusitis is an aggressive infection affecting immunocomprosmised patients and carries a high mortality. Patients with Covid-pneumonia are at an increased risk of developing invasive pulmonary fungal infections probably due to their reduced immunological competence. Here, we review three cases of Covid-associated invasive fungal sinusitis.
