COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CAPA) is one of the main complications of severely ill patients with COVID-19. Thus, this study aimed to report cases of CAPA in patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital. Method: Descriptive and retrospective study that included patients with CAPA admitted between March 2020 and December 2021 in the intensive care unit of a high complexity hospital. Results: Of the eight patients with CAPA described in this study, six were classified as possible cases and two as probable cases. Conclusion: Preventive actions and active investigation of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in critical COVID-19 patients should be performed through appropriate screening and diagnostic protocols, considering the high risk of co-infection of these patients.
