Abstract

Aspergillosis superinfections have been reported as acute complications of COVID-19. We report a rare case of combined chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, and fibrosing aspergillosis in a 31-year-old woman with a history of COVID-19. Chest scan remains an important imaging method assisting in the diagnosis and management of post-COVID-19 patients.
