Acinetobacter: A Rare Cause of Rapid Development of Cavitary Lung Lesion Following COVID-19 Infection

Cavitary lesions of the lungs are a very frequent picture found in clinical practices resulting from a wide range of pathological processes with variable duration of formation depending on infectious pathogens. Common organisms causing cavitary lesions are Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia...

description Cavitary lesions of the lungs are a very frequent picture found in clinical practices resulting from a wide range of pathological processes with variable duration of formation depending on infectious pathogens. Common organisms causing cavitary lesions are Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, typical and atypical Mycobacterium, and Aspergillus. Herein, we are presenting a case that developed cavitary lesions in both lungs colonizing Acinetobacter, a rare causative agent, within less than two months of a positive coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.
