[Spectrum of opportunistic fungal lung co-infections in COVID-19: What the radiologist needs to know]. / Espectro de coinfecciones pulmonares fúngicas oportunistas en COVID-19: lo que el radiólogo debe saber.

Fungal lung co-infections associated with COVID-19 may occur in severely ill patients or those with underlying co-morbidities, and immunosuppression. The most common invasive fungal infections are caused by aspergillosis, mucormycosis, pneumocystis, cryptococcus, and candida. Radiologists integrate the clinical disease features with the CT pattern-based approach and play a crucial role in identifying these co-infections in COVID-19 to assist clinicians to make a confident diagnosis, initiate treatment and prevent complications.
