Abstract

The occurrence of hemoptysis in patients with COVID-19 and associated fungal infections is not uncommon. Patients may experience mild to massive hemoptysis depending on the underlying cause. We present a case of a middle-aged male who developed severe respiratory distress syndrome and a non-Mucor fungal infection, resulting in massive hemoptysis secondary to a pseudoaneurysm of the pulmonary artery. The diagnosis was confirmed through CT pulmonary angiography, and coiling of the pseudoaneurysm was employed as a treatment modality. Following the treatment, the patient experienced an excellent outcome.
