Abstract
Opportunistic infections saw a rise during the COVID-19 pandemic. We report rhinocerebral mucormycosis following COVID infection in six patients with kidney disease. Though there was a variable outcome with 50% mortality, it is prudent to assess the risk factors for development of life-threatening infection.
