| description | Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the culprit behind the pandemic across the globe in recent decades. Variants of SARS-CoV especially coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related fungus might not be identified or might be misdiagnosed on a worldwide scale. Patients of COVID-19 acquired invasive mycoses, especially if they are very ill or immunosuppressed. Clinical intervention based on various standard guidelines would be necessary to guarantee that Aspergillus and Candida-infected COVID-19 patients are adequately treated. To facilitate clinical professionals, doctors, paramedics, and laboratory staff in the treatment of various variants of COVID-19 patients with concurrent aspergillosis, candidiasis, mucormycosis, or cryptococcosis, a tabulation format is drafted in this study. We believe it is prudent to take into account the general nature, and variety of the mycosis that is arriving, the strength and limits of the diagnostic tools, clinical conditions, and the need for standardized or customized therapy in various coronavirus-infected patients. |
