Post-COVID-19 cavitary lung lesion due to Aspergillus flavus and Enterobacter cloacae in a patient suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia – a case report

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has manifested as a multifaceted paradigm but has primarily affected the respiratory system. Though a rare sequela after-COVID-19, we present a case of cavitary lung lesion in an adult patient, which manifested with common symptoms such as fever, coug...

description The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has manifested as a multifaceted paradigm but has primarily affected the respiratory system. Though a rare sequela after-COVID-19, we present a case of cavitary lung lesion in an adult patient, which manifested with common symptoms such as fever, cough and dyspnoea during the post-COVID-19 recovery period. Aspergillus flavus and Enterobacter cloacae were found to be the main causative organisms. Fungal and bacterial coinfection may be thought of in similar situations and appropriate treatment may be given to prevent further morbidity and mortality.
