Renal artery thrombosis and mucormycosis in a COVID-19 patient

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been postulated to be associated with hypercoagulability, leading to thromboembolism in major blood vessels. There are also increasing reports of invasive fungal infections in COVID-19 patients. We report a unique case of mucormycosis associated with...

description The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been postulated to be associated with hypercoagulability, leading to thromboembolism in major blood vessels. There are also increasing reports of invasive fungal infections in COVID-19 patients. We report a unique case of mucormycosis associated with renal artery thrombosis leading to renal infarction and nephrectomy in a COVID-19 patient. This is the first such reported case to our knowledge.
