Abstract

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is known to complicate the coronavirus diseases-2019 (COVID-19), especially those with criticalillness. We investigated the baseline anti-Aspergillus antibody serostatus of patients with moderate-critical COVID-19 hospitalizedat 3 COVID-19 Treatment Units in Uganda. All 46 tested patients, mean age 30, and 11% with underlying respiratorydisease had a negative serum anti-Aspergillus IgM/IgG antibody immunochromatographic test on day 3 (mean) of symptomonset (range 1-26), but follow up specimens to assess seroconversion were not available. Keywords: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis; COVID-19; critical illness; Uganda.
