Conclusion
Fungal infections present an additional threat in the challenging task of managing COVID-19 patients in outbreak conditions. The pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 virus will undoubtedly involve CAPA, and the use of immunomodulatory therapy and impact of overburdened critical care services during this pandemic may exaggerate its impact. More research is needed on the epidemiology and diagnosis of CAPA in patients with COVID-19, a need that is partially met as ongoing prospective multi-site clinical studies are extended to include this cohort (e.g. AspiFlu) [25] or are launched (CAPA) [26] in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
