Pulmonary mycoses have an increased incidence and mortality, the most common germ identified among cases of COVID-19 is Aspergillus spp. Due to discrepancies in defining and diagnostic criteria, but also nonspecific clinical-imaging manifestations, COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis remains a diagnostic and management challenge
