description Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has affected more than ninety-three million people worldwide till January 2021. COVID-19 can cause a destructive dysregulated immune response which can result in numerous complications such as kidney failure, myocarditis, and strokes. A new entity called coronavirus disease-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) has emerged in recent times. The literature on CAPA is limited. We present a case of CAPA in an immunocompetent patient who was placed on veno-venous extra-corporeal membranous oxygen (VV-ECMO). We briefly explained pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and management of CAPA in this report.
