We report the case of a 73-year-old male who presented with progressive dyspnea; diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2–related severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and complicated with lung cavitations growing Aspergillus sp. Due to persistence of the SARS-CoV-2 and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome complicated by pulmonary aspergillosis, the patient further underwent tracheostomy and was discharged to a subacute rehabilitation facility. 11 We report this case of subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in a patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection, who did not have any history of pulmonary tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or preformed cavities to predispose for aspergillus infection. Subacute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis as a superimposed infection in patients with SARS-CoV-2 is a rare entity.
