Current evidence indicates that CAPA primarily results from dysregulation of innate antifungal immune responses. Key contributing factors include epithelial barrier dysfunction, impaired phagocytic activity against fungi, aberrant expression of antimicrobial peptides, immunologic tolerance, and lung dysbiosis, all of which collectively weaken host defense mechanisms. Concurrently, excessive pro-inflammatory responses-driven by cytokine storms and oxidative stress associated with antiviral immunity-further exacerbate lung injury in COVID-19 patients, creating a detrimental feedback loop that impairs immune function and heightens susceptibility to CAPA.
