At our institution, fungal cultures are routinely performed on bronchoscopy specimens and other respiratory specimens as clinically indicated; consequently, it is plausible there were instances of Aspergillus respiratory infection that were not identified. Aspergillus infection can be seen in construction‐related clusters. 10 While there was some construction at our institution during the first wave of COVID‐19, it was physically remote from the units where all of the cases were identified. Further, there were no instances of isolating Aspergillus from any patients without the diagnosis of COVID‐19 within or around the study period.
