Invasive aspergillosis is a severe illness described in immune-compromised and critically ill non-immuno-compromised patients. Aspergillosis and COVID-19 co-infection cases harbor multiple unfavorable prognostic factors, with a 44% mortality versus 19% without aspergillosis. We presented the case of a 61-year-old man known with hypertension, diabetes, and smoking that went through COVID-19 infection, during the convalescent period presented multiple hemoptoic events due to A. fumigatus mycotic pseudoaneurysm, successfully resolved by selective angioembolization. Selective angioembolization is an effective alternative for high surgical risk due to comorbidities in the treatment of pulmonary mycotic aneurism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
