From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of secondary infections (both bacterial and fungal) has increased due to immune suppression associated with the use of corticosteroids or broad-spectrum antibiotics as a part of COVID-19 treatment protocol, which may exacerbate a pre-existing fungal disease or cause a new infection. Ophthalmologists are often involved in taking medical and surgical decisions in these complex cases. In this regard, a strong clinical suspicion should be applied to possible secondary fungal infections in COVID-19. Their early diagnosis and treatment may reduce mortality due to COVID-19 associated rhinocerebral mucormycosis (ROCM). This article describes two clinical cases of late detection of ROCM with two different scenarios, and compare the features of these cases with the literature data.

Keywords:
