Abstract
The most severe manifestation of COVID-19 is bilateral pneumonia with development of acute respiratory distress syndrome accompanied by cytokine storm, pulmonary edema and death of the patient. In a number of patients, occurrence of mucormycosis of mucous membranes was one of the stages of the lethal outcome development. The arctile presents a clinical case of mucormycosis of the tracheobronchial tree detected by bronchoscopy several days before death in a patient with COVID-19 who was on mechanical ventilation. The endoscopic signs (endoscopic image) are described.
