Abstract

Abstract: Severe COVID‐19 patients complicated with aspergillosis are increasingly reported. We present a histopathological proven case of fatal COVID‐19–associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA), due to Aspergillus flavus . This report and existing published literature indicate diagnostic challenges and poor outcomes of CAPA in ICU patients.
