Gastric Aspergillosis in a COVID-19 Patient.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Coronavirus-19 infection (COVID-19), frequently elicits the development of depressed immunity, therefore, opportunistic infections. Opportunistic organisms are commonly present in the human body without causing critical illness. However, they can also lead to pathologic illness when a person is immunocompromised. Aspergillosis is among the many opportunistic infections. Even though this infection primarily involves the respiratory system and is less likely to be found in the gastrointestinal tract, we report a case of a COVID-19 individual that developed massive gastrointestinal bleeding whose condition deteriorated, and the pathological examination revealed gastric aspergillosis. Although not common, gastric aspergillosis should be considered while treating patients with COVID-19 who present gastrointestinal symptoms.
