Abstract: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused millions of people to become infected and had resulted several deaths.After initial resolution, in cases of clinical deterioration, it is essential to consider the possibility of coinfections.Non-tuberculous mycobacteria infections are rare and often overlooked.In this report, we present a severe acute respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus-2 and Mycobacterium fortuitum coinfected patient.Our intention is to bring attention to the possibility of such coinfection without a known history of any lung diseases or immunosuppression other than COVID-19 and thus, broadening the clinical thinking process of physicians.
