Abstract: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) pandemic emerged in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly spread around the world. Although patients followed up for Covid 19 have risk factors for opportunistic fungal infections, the literature on this issue is limited. We aimed to present the characteristics of four patients in which we detected candida infection from our patients with Covid-19 to draw attention in this issue.
