Abstract

Recent studies have indicated that fungal co-infections have a major impact on the morbidity and mortality of patients with COVID-19. In these patients, the excessive production of inflammatory cytokines and the reduction in CD4 + T and CD8 + T cell count entails susceptibility to fungal infections.1 In addition to impaired cell-mediated immunity, comorbidities and immunosuppressive medications have a significant role in the development of fungal infections and have serious impacts on clinical outcomes.1-3
