Immunosuppressive drugs are used to treat this disease, and perhaps the nature of this disease has increased opportunistic infections in these patients. This study aims to investigate the number of fungal infections in patients with COVID-19. For this reason, keywords such as: “COVID-19”, “<i>Aspergillus</i>”, “fungi”, “<i>Candida</i>”, “Cryptococcus,” “<i>Pneumocystis,</i>” and “<i>Mucorales</i>” were searched. According to the investigation that was carried out, <i>Aspergillus</i>, <i>Cryptococcus</i>, <i>Pneumocystis</i>, <i>Mucorales,</i> and <i>Candida</i> were among the fungi that were investigated in patients with COVID-19. Lung damage, immunosuppression, need for oxygen therapy, steroid therapy, and hospitalization in intensive care units were known predisposing factors for fungal infections in these patients.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
