Abstract: Viral associated pulmonary aspergillosis (VAPA) is increasingly being recognized by clinicians. However, the same patient developing VAPA after two separate viral respiratory illness appears to be rare. We describe a patient who developed influenza associated invasive aspergillosis (IAPA) which resolved completely with treatment. A second episode of VAPA developed after one year following human rhinovirus/enterovirus with a nodular infiltrate at a different location in the lungs as compared to earlier. Neither episode required ICU admission and both episodes were treated successfully.
