| description | Introduction: The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread rapidly throughout the world, which created a great challenge. The appearance of coinfections is among the most serious complications that these patients can develop. Pulmonary aspergillosis has been identified as a complication of COVID-19 pneumonia among ventilated patients in intensive care.
Objective: To present an unusual clinical case of pulmonary aspergillosis.
Clinical case: It is presented the case of a patient with a recent history of COVID-19, with an enteral clinical picture of diarrhea and vomiting plus respiratory failure, in which the evolution of colon cancer and ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Aspergillus niger are concomitant.
Conclusions: Pulmonary aspergillosis associated with COVID-19 is a complication that should be considered and sought in patients with a recent history of this disease. |
