Abstract
COVID-19 may cause significant effects on multiple organs as part of the disease progression. Comorbidities including diabetes mellitus can precipitate secondary infections accentuated by administration of steroids in oxygen dependent patients and by other drugs used in treatment. Fungal infections have been reported as coinfections with SARS-CoV-2 and also as opportunistic infections during and after COVID-19 involving the paranasal air sinuses eyes lungs and brain.

The patient ended up with evisceration of the eye and decompression of cerebral abscess after nearly three months of COVID-19.
