Abstract

BACKGROUND A variety of bacterial and fungal co-infections may be attributed to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), particularly in people who already have a medical condition such diabetes mellitus or those who received large dosages of steroids. CASE REPORT We described a 52-year-old diabetic man who was receiving high doses of dexamethasone and antibiotics while receiving ambulatory care for COVID-19 pneumonia. His anterior rhinoscopy revealed a necrotic scab, and a sample confirmed Mucor spp. He underwent surgery and was given amphotericin as a result of the severity of the condition, palpebral ptosis, and right ocular palsy he was experiencing. The patien ́s progression was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS pre-existing diabetes mellitus, previous steroid and antimicrobial use, as well as SARS-CoV-2 infection are some of the risk factors associated with Mucor spp. infection. Prompt detection of mucormycosis is important in the management of these affected patients.

墨西哥1例COVID-19患者鼻-眶毛霉菌病:病例报告

背景:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)可能导致多种细菌和真菌合并感染，特别是在已经患有糖尿病等疾病或接受大剂量类固醇治疗的人群中。病例报告:我们描述了一名52岁的糖尿病男性，他在接受COVID-19肺炎门诊治疗时接受大剂量地塞米松和抗生素治疗。前鼻镜检查发现坏死痂，标本证实为毛霉菌。由于病情严重，眼睑下垂和右眼麻痹，他接受了手术并给予两性霉素治疗。病人的病情进展令人满意。结论:既往糖尿病、既往使用类固醇和抗微生物药物以及SARS-CoV-2感染是毛霉菌感染的相关危险因素。及时发现毛霉病对这些受影响患者的管理很重要。
