The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has led to an increased incidence of fungal infections. However, pulmonary infections are rare. COVID-associated pulmonary aspergillosis has been reported; however, there is no prior report of tracheobronchial aspergillosis with endobronchial aspergilloma as per the authors' literature search. We report such a case of a 65-year-old male with radiology and biopsy-proven endobronchial aspergilloma upon a background of tracheobronchial and pulmonary aspergillosis after having recovered clinically from severe COVID-19 disease.
新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 引起的,导致真菌感染的发病率增加。然而,肺部感染较为罕见。有报道称与 COVID 相关的肺曲霉病;然而,据作者的文献检索,尚无先前报道的气管支气管曲霉病伴支气管内曲霉瘤。我们报告了这样一个病例,一名 65 岁男性,在 COVID-19 重症临床康复后,患有气管支气管和肺部曲霉病的基础上,经影像学和活检证实患有支气管内曲霉瘤。
