Abstract
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.
