Abstract
Among the potential pathogens in patients with COVID-19 that we should pay more attention to is Aspergillosis, as pulmonary Aspergillosis is a critical complication of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, especially those with severe pneumonia. In this study, Aspergillus sp. was isolated from patients with COVID-19 from the respiratory tract, and its presence was surveyed as a co-infection with a viral infection. The results showed that Aspergillosis constituted a relatively high percentage in patients 10.8% of the total infections, represented by four species (Aspergillus tamarii, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus candidus, and Aspergillus niger). Also, the most susceptible age to infection with co-infections is the elderly, where the age of more than 60 years, and that diabetes is the most risk factor for infection with Aspergillosis accompanying the virus. Males were also more susceptible to co-infection than females. © 2021, Dr. Yashwant Research Labs Pvt. Ltd.. All rights reserved.
