N2 - Aspergillomas are found in pre-existing cavities in pulmonary parenchyma. To the best of our knowledge, aspergilloma has not previously been reported in COVID-19-associated pulmonary architecture distortion combined with barotrauma from invasive mechanical ventilation therapy. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman, who suffered from severe COVID-19 in the summer of 2020 with no suspicion of infection with Aspergillus in the acute phase. Ten months after discharge from her COVID-related admission, she developed bilateral aspergillomas diagnosed by image diagnostics, bronchoscopy, and blood samples, and she now receives antifungal therapy. We would like to raise awareness on aspergilloma in post-COVID-19 patients, since it is an expected long-term complication to COVID-19 patients with pulmonary architectural distortion.
