Most patients require anticoagulant therapy which predisposes them to the development of hemorrhagic syndrome. In critically ill COVID-19 patients secondary infections due to opportunistic pathogens are associated with a high mortality rate. Case report: Herein, we present a COVID-19 patient with severe hemorrhage at unusual sites complicated with invasive candidiasis and an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strain of Klebsiella enterobacter. Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of the possibility for invasive fungal infections in severely ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection due to pre-existing conditions, risk factors, and COVID-19 associated pathological mechanisms. Management of invasive candidiasis is challenging because of the high prevalence of comorbidities, risk of toxicities, and drug interactions.
