Healthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) are not uncommon after COVID‐19. Kubin et al. reported that the incidence of post‐COVID‐19 HAIs was around 12%.[1] Out of these, 57% were bacterial and 19% were fugal.[2] Although candidemia was the most common fungal infection, the Indian population witnessed the storm of “mucormycosis.”[2] The risk factors and the pathophysiology of post‐COVID‐19 mucormycosis are well described in medical literature.[2] Recently, we came across a case of “cerebral pheohyphomycosis (CH)” after COVID‐19.
