Chronic Necrotizing Pulmonary Aspergillosis After SARS-CoV-2 Infection – A Case Report
Abstract Aspergillosis is a fungal infection, caused by the mould Aspergillus, most commonly Aspergillus fumigatus species. Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis after SARS Cov-2 infection is a rare presentation that is commonly misdiagnosed. The prolonged corticosteroid and antibiotic application and the pro-inflammatory state in COVID-19 patients predisposes to Aspergillus infection and its chronification. Surgery plays a pivotal role in cases with unclear diagnosis, ineffective medical therapy or when complications develop. We present a case of a 73-year-old woman with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, developed after COVID-19 pneumonia. A right lateral muscle-sparing thoracotomy, right upper lobectomy and atypical resection of the 9th and 10th segments were performed.
期刊介绍:
About 30 years ago - in 1973, on the initiative of the Publishing House „Medicine and Physical Culture", namely its former director Mr. Traian Ivanov, the Ministry of Health set up and accepted to subsidize a new medical magazine that was to be published only in the English language and had to reflect the status and the achievements of the Bulgarian medical science. Thus the language barrier was overcome and stable relations were established with the international medical society, large libraries, and university centers. The famous internationally known scientist professor Assen A. Hadjiolov was elected edition-in-chief by the first editorial staff and the magazine was named Acta Medica Bulgarica.
