Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that is common worldwide and has a high mortality rate after COVID-19 disease. We present here the case of a 55-year-old male who developed cerebral-pulmonary mucormycosis during voriconazole treatment. The pa-tient presented with hemoptysis, and had a history of uncontrolled diabetes due to high-dose and longterm use of corticosteroids for the treatment of COVID-19. He was treated medically with liposomal amphotericin-B and oral posaconazole, and the lung lesion was subsequently removed surgically.
