COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis in a Patient Treated With Remdesivir, Dexamethasone, and Baricitinib : A Case Report

Copyright © 2022, Shimada et al..

Remdesivir, dexamethasone, and baricitinib have recently been used to treat patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and respiratory failure. However, the adverse effects of combination therapy have not been fully explored. A 64-year-old man was diagnosed with COVID-19 and was treated with remdesivir, dexamethasone, and baricitinib. His respiratory condition worsened on day 17, and in the following days, he was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum and COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA). His condition improved with a reduction in the corticosteroid regime and antifungal treatment. This is the first case of pulmonary aspergillosis in a patient with COVID-19 that was treated with remdesivir, dexamethasone, and baricitinib.
