- Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) predisposes patients to bacterial and fungal superinfections due to the impairment of the immunological system. Among the associated opportunistic fungal infections, mucormycosis is one of the least frequent but with the highest mortality. We describe two cases of mucormycosis in two kidney transplant recipients, while they were hospitalized for SARS‐CoV‐2 pneumonia, with rhinosinusal and musculoskeletal involvement, respectively.
