Viral infections can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), consequently leading to susceptibility for secondary pulmonary infections. Over the past few weeks, a number of studies have reported on secondary pulmonary aspergillosis complicating severe COVID-19. We report the case of a 53-year old male patient with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who suffered from COVID-19 ARDS and was diagnosed postmortem with mucormycosis.
病毒感染可导致急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS),进而增加继发肺部感染的易感性。在过去几周里,多项研究报告了严重新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)并发继发性肺曲霉病的情况。我们报告一例53岁男性继发性急性髓系白血病(AML)患者,该患者患有COVID-19 ARDS,尸检诊断为毛霉病。
