Nasal polyps are usually associated with inflammation, allergy or mucoviscidosis. The global burden of patients with COVID-19 infection, including that in the Indian sub-continent,is still very high and they are at an increased risk of developing invasive fungal infections probably due to their immunocompromised state. Here, we review 4 cases of fungal nasal polyposis in patients with an ongoing or past history of COVID-19 infection with or without associated co-morbidities.
