COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) was recently reported as a potential infective complicationaffecting critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Since the emerging number of cases and the high mortalityrate, there is an acute need for more information about the interaction between SARS‐CoV‐2 and Aspergillus spp., andthe treatment for CAPA.We present a case diagnosed with a severe form of CAPA, lung lesions being followed-up for 6 months.
