- Abstract
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is a disease characterized by typical and atypical findings on imaging studies, which may or may not lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome. COVID-19 symptoms of most patients are very similar to those of other respiratory infections. Being in a pandemic, the centralization of management and treatment around it is common. However, this circumstance should not make us forget the rest of the respiratory diseases. CLINICAL CASE: A 57-year-old male, without comorbidities, positive SARS-CoV-2 history, hospitalized in the respiratory care unit of a private hospital in Torreon, Coahuila, who on the 17th day of hospital stay, presented poor evolution and evidence of Coccidioides spp. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with COVID-19, the possibility of co-infection with other pathogens should always be investigated so that treatment guidelines are timely and cover both causes from the early stages of the disease.
