Looking back with extreme gratitude on the past four years, having defended my PhD thesis on virus-associated aspergillosis last Tuesday. I got to work with fantastic people (many of whom have become friends), both within and outside the fungal research community (1/4)

Pulmonary HSV & CMV in #COVID19 #ARDS 🦠HSV reactivations common; ⬆️ alveolar inflammation post reactivation: may hinder resolution of inflammation/injury? Alveolar sampling appropriate if non-resolving ARDS. Antivirals could enhance outcome 🦠CMV rare 🖇️ bit.ly/3Y6UmRe

In conclusion: if you have a severely ill patient with flu or COVID 🦠, think Aspergillus 🍄 and do a bronchoscopy with BAL 🫁 if possible!
