Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis Secondary Infection: A Case Report of Achromobacter spp. Lung Infection

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Both pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19) are risk factors for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) and other pulmonary infectious diseases because of residual lung damage. We report a case of Achromobacter spp. infection following CPA in an immunocompetent woman with a history of PTB and COVID‐19.
