Incidence and Risk Factors of COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Intensive Care Unit—A Monocentric Retrospective Observational Study
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is an increasingly recognized complication of COVID-19 and is associated with significant over-mortality. We performed a retrospective monocentric study in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for respiratory...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is an increasingly recognized complication of COVID-19 and is associated with significant over-mortality. We performed a retrospective monocentric study in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for respiratory insufficiency due to COVID-19 from March to December 2020, in order to evaluate the incidence of CAPA and the associated risk factors. We also analysed the diagnostic approach used in our medical centre for CAPA diagnosis. We defined CAPA using recently proposed consensus definitions based on clinical, radiological and microbiological criteria. Probable cases of CAPA occurred in 9 out of 141 patients included in the analysis (6.4%). All cases were diagnosed during the second wave of the pandemic.
