We present a case of COVID-19 complicated by sporotrichosis and fusobacterium blood stream infections - no known prior cases fungemia nor polymicrobial bloodstream in patients. Severe COVID-19, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM), prolonged corticosteroid use contributed to immune dysregulation, increasing the patient's vulnerability infection. This highlights importance vigilance regarding ris...

Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) represent a group of opportunistic organisms that cause wide variety infections including the nosocomial.
