Abstract
Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that is associated with states of immunosuppression, among which uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (ketoacidosis) and the use of corticosteroids stand out. Both conditions are interwoven between the comorbidities and the treatments most used in patients with COVID-19. That is why its presence must be taken into account as a complication to be ruled out, and highlights the need to incorporate the Diabetologist into the Multidisciplinary Team for COVID management.
