Abstract
The characteristics of certain fungal infections, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath, may be similar to COVID-19. Laboratory tests are needed to establish whether an individual has a COVID-19 fungal infection. Any patient can experience COVID-19 and simultaneously a fungal infection. People with serious COVID-19 are especially vulnerable to bacterial or fungal infections, such as those in intensive care units (ICUs). Aspergillosis (ASP), invasive candidiasis, is among the most frequent fungal infections in COVID-19 patients. The increased prevalence of these fungal coinfections may be linked with serious disorders and deaths. Knowledge of the potential for fungal coinfection is important to minimize delays in diagnosis and care to help avoid serious diseases and mortality due to these infections.
