In a post-COVID-19 patient with suspected invasive mold infection of the lung and massive hemoptysis due to mycotic aneurysms, management to tackle hemoptysis takes precedence over empiric antifungal drugs.
Posaconazole and isavuconazole may indeed emerge as good contemporary choices over voriconazole for invasive aspergillosis and over amphotericin B for invasive mucormycosis.
This case adds to the clinical experience of using medical treatment with posaconazole as the sole drug without surgery in cases such as these, due to certain extenuating circumstances.
