Resumen:
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a complication in critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, especially those with severe coronavirus disease-associated pneumonia. In this study, five cases of presumed invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in one immunocompromised and four immunocompetent patients with COVID-19 in Buenos Aires are described. In all cases, the underlying conditions, clinical presentation, fungal diagnostic tests used and their results, features of the chest scan images, antifungals used and clinical outcomes are detailed.
