Mucormycosis is a disease caused by fungi of the family, widespread in the environment, with pronounced angiotropism and the ability to angioinvasion, leading to thrombosis with surrounding necrosis. The main triggers for the development of mucormycosis are: immunodeficiency states, use of glucocorticosteroid drugs, decompensation of diabetes mellitus, concomitant diseases, age > 65 years. We present a clinical case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a 79-year-old patient against the background of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis, a condition after previous glucocorticosteroid therapy for COVID-19 (according to the severity of the disease).

This infection, directly or indirectly, through the use of glucocorticoids and antibiotics in its treatment, as well as poorer self-management of chronic diseases, has led to a wide spread of risk factors for fungal diseases among people who have had a novel coronavirus infection. The article presents two cases of COVID-19-associated mycosis, more related to mucormycosis, which were diagnosed by ophthalmologists in the Volgograd region.

At the same time, attention should be paid to thromboses that play a significant role in the development of fatal outcomes in COVID-19, even taking into account the prescription of anticoagulant therapy to most patients.
Objective: To make an assessment of morphological changes and a statistical analysis of the structure of mortality in COVID-19 on the basis of autopsy results in the Volgograd Region in 2020.
